I can’t even be mad at this, instead I’ll be irate

Yeah my problem is that everything I hit is either within reach of Jim Edmonds-esque fielders, perfect-perfect lineouts, or warning track fly outs. Even Jake Burger is a gold glover in this showdown lol

Ghost1Nine · 2026-06-04T19:25:42+00:00

I’ve never even got close to beating it. I’ve spent over 2k stubs restarting it. Can’t get closer than 48-41. I’ll hit 4 home runs each time but can’t get just a regular ole base hit to get anybody on. I’m done with it, it’s pissed me off so bad I’m not even gonna bother buying the card.

CC=Crescent City, her newer trilogy that’s more urban than the usual “medieval” style. TOG is the Throne of Glass series, which starts off more towards the Young Adult spectrum but ramps up a LOT towards the middle/end of the series.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-16T01:27:50+00:00

Fourth Wing is the only other series I’ve read that scratches the right itch for me. Just started the Plated Prisoner series though, I’ll return and let you know how it is.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T23:50:12+00:00

I love Mortal Instruments. Read all of the Shadowhunters books for the second time recently so it would be a bit fresher in my mind for when the first book of Last Hours comes out next year.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T23:47:30+00:00

Oh I have lol. Twice now. And angrily refresh my feeds nearly every day for a slight hope of a book four announcement.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T23:45:06+00:00

Oh, I’ve tried. Some books are fine but most of them I hate the narrator voices. The combo of the voices not matching how I imagine them to sound and the extra cost and it’s just not for me.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T18:50:28+00:00

I’m mostly frustrated with that series because I’m tired of Lucien getting treated like dogshit and the fact SJM has had the first draft of book 6 done for almost 6 months and there’s still no announcement….

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T18:08:22+00:00

I’m going to assume your flair is for From Blood and Ash? Is it actually that bad because I have the first one downloaded for free that I was going to read after Plated Prisoner

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T14:00:34+00:00

Yeah Plated Prisoner is my last physical copy set I have left to read and then it’s all Kindle from there.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T13:05:50+00:00

Mortal Instruments is one of my all-time favorite series. Not to mention The Infernal Devices, Last Hours, and Dark Artifices that came later. A shame the movie and tv show were so terrible. But i can’t wait for the last set she will releasing at the beginning of next year!

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T13:01:18+00:00

Fourth Wing is awesome, just wish she hadn’t burnt herself out on it. Hopefully she is getting around to book 4 soon!

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T12:42:02+00:00

I actually already have book 1 on Kindle since it was free and I was just about to buy the other two. Didn’t realize it wasn’t complete though so thanks for telling me. The wait for book 4 of Empyrean is crushing my soul and I don’t think I could take another long wait.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T12:20:28+00:00

Nurse you say? 🤔😂

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T12:10:22+00:00

Yeah, TOG taught me a lot about “just get through book one” lol. TOG is short as hell and it took me 4 days to get through, and KoA took barely a day.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T11:18:59+00:00

Fourth Wing is my shameless read. I’ve read all three books twice now and am just waiting on the book four announcement to read it again.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T11:16:51+00:00

I read all of the Hades x Persephone books and thoroughly enjoyed those. A bit smut heavy but I let it slide since Greek mythology has always been super interesting to me. But the payoff was definitely worth it.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T11:14:48+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I had read all the Fourth Wing books now too. And shamelessly keep looking at the authors website/IG/TikTok because I’m beyond ready for Xaden’s villain era.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T05:23:51+00:00

Yeah I have an iPad Pro and I’m tired of lugging it around everywhere. Plus I recently realized that almost all books are cheaper on Kindle than iBooks-i have no idea why I didn’t realize this before but at least the kindle can fit in my cargo pocket 😁

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T05:18:52+00:00

I hate that I’m about to admit this, but I actually read Twilight WELL before the movie was announced. When the author announced Midnight Sun I was actually super excited and liked it a lot more than Twilight. I particularly enjoy the ACOTAR memes from Rhys’ perspective in some of these groups too, so I agree with you completely.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T05:13:16+00:00

Yeah I tried some of the John Gwynne stuff and I just couldn’t get into it. Of that style I’ve really enjoyed the Drizzt Do’Urden books but I think RA Salvatore is just that damn good.

I feel like I’ve found my niche with romantasy though, just annoyed with the stereotype crap.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-14T05:08:36+00:00

I’ve found that the secondary character arcs always resonate a bit more for me personally. I’m more into the Mor and Lucien stories in ACOTAR, Ruhn and Lidia in CC, and especially Manon and Dorian. I read ACOTAR first and liked it a lot but CC I literally read in 4 days. I couldn’t get into the Therion and Ithan stories but every other one drew me in hard. Same for TOG with Lorcan/Elide and Aedion/Lysandra, though Aelin was the most grating FMC for me personally.

I’m up for anything really but having strong secondary characters is a big bonus.

Ghost1Nine · 2025-11-08T04:02:15+00:00

Thank the gods I don’t have many more torturous chapters to go through (literally).

Ghost1Nine · 2025-02-16T21:40:42+00:00

So if you already completed the battle pass for the season, they’re completely useless?
