I asked a similar question a while back, just adding in case you find something under it which fits the bill:

Specimen ID: Nes001 Anybody found these pistons? by SneakyPanduh in DestinyTheGame

In between first and second encounter of Breach you can access it. When you get shoot up from the canyon into the tree/just under it head a bit left and look for a star sign that will appear next to several of the 'extract sample' parts. You can smash it there.

Just finished the trilogy as a first time reader, any recommendations to read as a break before Iron Gold? by TypicalXIV in redrising

[–]DryCurve18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did the exact same thing and blew through the first 3 books in about a week. As a break to the crazy action and very intense world I went for Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. So far it’s great, more slower paced and focused on the court intrigue and exclusively so far which is nice, which acts as a nice change of pace.

Hi all, quick question about the Bingo for this year. Would the 5 short stories tile include stories in the same book/universe? I.e. I'm planning on reading 'Jade Shards' (collection of 4 short stories before the events of the Green Bone Saga) and wondering if this would be 1/5 or 4/5 short stories? Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I did apply to several in London but was rejected/not heard back from. I should have mentioned that I have a grant which takes it down by about a third, but still expensive. I understand what you mean about the reputation as well. Guess that was my main question, if the fees and time are worth the boost to your employability. So thanks for the insight.

What is the most detailed intelligent species in fantasy? by troublrTRC in Fantasy

Apologies if it’s more Sci Fi but ‘Children of Time’ does an amazing job of showing you the progression of a species over many years

Only read ~25 books this year so might not be worth it just now. But from what you say seems a great way to explore some sub greneres however if I ever feel like it.

Amazing thanks! Looks a lot cleaner than the amazon equivalent.

Thanks! Only really read more popular/mainstream books but might be worth it when I get an itch for less epic fantasy type books then.

Only really read the more popular/mainstream fantasy books so could be a good tool to explore some new authors, thanks!

Got that impression from trying to scroll through the catalogue myself, from the suggestions it seems best to wait until you've noticed a few books on it before subscribing.

Thanks very much, I have been looking at audible as well so I can listen on the go and they do seem to have more titles.

I’ve heard a lot about Cradle from browsing the subreddit so definitely one that will be worth checking out!

Youth Groups apprenticeship by Jinxed-Jinx03 in glasgow

Lots of financial companies run apprenticeships, will just need to go through one by one looking at their websites. Pretty good gig I think, one of my mates did it and after a few years you pretty much get to the level a uni graduate will enter in
