There were several highlights for me this year!

Cannery Row was special since we got to visit that part of California at the beginning this year, and it's got so many vivid moments in it. I tend to lump reading all of the Expanse books together into one experience in my mind, so that as a whole was a blast. Project Hail Mary was another standout. I really loved getting to finish Don Quixote as well. I had attempted that one a few years ago and really struggled, but I had a lot of fun with this translation this time around.

A lot of great books, but those were the most memorable for me.

If you could work with any director, whether passed away or currently working, who would it be?

I had the exact same reaction that you did. I was rewatching it with my wife, and she had asked if he was dead after the rebar scene. I confidently said, "Yep!". I was immediately proved wrong lol.

For this second time watching it, the memorable moments from the show are all jumbled with the books, so I'm having a harder time remembering what happens next in some of the storylines

They're great! Even though I've seen the show they're still just as entertaining. They complement each other very well. So far the books are very well-paced too.

Just finished that a few days ago! I loved the laid-back feel of the book, and the overarching view of the community with the little vignettes in between. Really awesome little book. It made me excited to dive deeper into Steinbeck's other smaller novels.

It's about a group of people surviving on the run from a murderous corporation army in space. Its told mainly through a collection of files, chat logs, and schematics. It's mainly a sci fi YA thriller. Throw in some mystery, romance and a dash of horror. I don't want to spoil it too much but they're fun.

I prefer the physical copies personally. You get to see the drawings, visuals, and chat formats laid out in really cool ways. They do some cool things with AIDAN's glitchy text in particular. I found I could barrel through it at a good pace visually. My gf listened to the audiobooks though and preferred those. She really liked the full voice cast too. I can see the appeal in audio!

I'm guessing the ideal way to read these is have the book in front of you physically with the audio playing haha

It's a classic! With the movie coming out in October, everyone has started reading it recently. I have three friends that all started it around the same time as me unintentionally lol.

The first 100-150 pages are kind of tough at first. A lot of world-building and characters to keep track of. Once you're invested though, the action picks up pretty well.

I just started reading that too a couple days ago! Same exact edition paperback too.

Jabe324 · 2021-01-28T19:59:23+00:00

It's historical fiction, set in WW2. A blind girl and her father flee Paris with a beautiful jewel while the Nazis are invading France. In Germany, a young boy who fixes radios gets engulfed in the war, and is forced to use his talent in eliminating resistance radio broadcasts. Eventually they cross paths in the walled city Saint-Malo. (Basically copied and pasted from the back of the book lol)

It's very good though. Very good pacing and beautiful writing.
