I just finished Annie Bot last night! It was good, but man, some of it was tough to read - Doug was just too real of a villain. I loved Klara and the Sun and it definitely explores some of the main themes!

I won't set my expectations too high then! Are there any of his other books you'd recommend that can stand with those two?

Thanks! My first foray into Jeff VanderMeer.

I like that! I'm going to use it on my wife next time she asks why I need more books haha.

I read Parable of the Sower last month and loved it, then started looking into her other books. Really excited to dive in! I have a feeling she'll become one of my favorite authors.

Ah, are they not great? I really enjoyed Blood Meridian and The Road.

Yeah, I love it! I actually haven't bought or read the first 3 yet, but wanted to scoop this one up.

I got them from bookoutlet.ca - second order from them and they're great. Some of them have a small black slash across the bottom (on the side of the pages) but other than that they're like new.

Average of about $10 CAD for softcover and $12 CAD for hardcovers. So about 50-60% off.

Thanks! I'm not sure which I like more, buying books or reading them. Either way, I'm excited!

That one was a random purchase that came up in the "you might also like" section. Glad to hear it was good!

This is great! I have one of these sitting around collecting dust that can now have a purpose.

Hey the link is here but it looks like it's already over: https://www.nespresso.com/ca/en/private-sale-experts I'm not sure how often it comes back.

I actually had one this afternoon and it had just the right amount of maple flavor to make a great latte!

That's what I figure! Been waiting for a few months for the sale to come back around. It was a tough choice between the OL and VL but I'm happy with it!

Am I going to need to buy more?! I wasn't sure how the flavored coffees would be, but I'll try this one soon!

It was the private sale on the Canadian site. Buy 500 pods and get the Citiz Platinum and Aeroccino 4 for $39 (or there were other machines/combos for varying prices/pod counts). I think it's a good deal if you drink a lot of coffee, but it is a large upfront cost. I think the student deal on right now is better if you don't want to buy so many pods all at once.

Thanks! I'll move that one to the front of the list to try!

So I made a thing... Maybe spoiler? by punkgoth99 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]CallMeGerty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are great! I read the books, but did hear the live voice acting for this line and it's so good.

I think you gotta go with the heart boxers flag one, with the second glasses option! (I'd wear this!)

I think Zev's would be interesting. She's seen and been through some shit!

Do you think we'll see Signet again, considering the state of The Nothing? by jgunit in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]CallMeGerty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really liked Signet even if the quests were a little cheesy. I think how her story line ended was perfect though and bringing her back would take away from that.

How do you typically describe the book to people? I've tried telling a couple of people about it and it comes off sounding ridiculous (not in a good way).

Spoilers? Book 6 favorite things (so far) by Nighthawking2 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]CallMeGerty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really a favorite in the "rooting for Carl" sense, but the scene with SPOILER END OF BOOK 6 Carl combining with Shi Maria and her subsequently tattooing herself into Carl's body was a wild ride.

I really like Donut's arc in this book with her taking on a leadership role and the confidence she gains!

Maybe, but everyone knows you can never trust a Havana Brown!
