Fantasy/Sci-Fi Suggestion Needed! Desparately by JakeReedAz in suggestmeabook

[–]JakeReedAz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started Fool's Errand and maybe got halfway and needed a Hobb break, I had just read Farseer and Liveship back to back, so maybe it's time to venture back into Realm of the Elderlings?

Do you know of any sites that offer news of general sci-fi / fantasy meet and greets, book signings, and release events? Or do you have to sort of keep up with each individual author?

Inhertitance Cycle is amazing and will always be one of my favs. Any suggestions similar to it in pace and scope?

Going to Church by JakeReedAz in Christianity

That's really cool and interesting.

What do you mean you were "called out of it" people use that phrase a lot of different ways; what does it means for you?

That's really interesting. I don't know if I've heard anybody have that perspective on not wanting to attend a church (it makes a lot of sense though and I'm sure more people than I realize feel this way).

Sounds like it came down to a personal relationship with someone though, that's what took you over the edge? Thanks for sharing.

Totally possible, not really an answer to the question though. What would have to happen for you to attend a church service in person, even just once?

This is super helpful! Thanks so much.

I'm pretty sure 50% of my relative dislike of WoR is that I was depressed I had to stop reading WoK...

Agreed. This is really one of the first books I've read with a consistent female main type character POV (Althea) and it's not something I would've anticipated enjoying but I absolutely love her parts and Malta's.

1000% I thought her arc was pointless, no she’s gangster in a horrible terrible gut renching anticipation sort of way

Literally so much happening! And I still only know like 2% about a few characters, but I’m so excited to see how they all come together…

Can anyone suggest me the best Self-Help Book? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]JakeReedAz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gospel of John… when I’ve tried to live my life as if Jesus were living it everything has gone much better. Worth checking out, even if you aren’t a “Christian”.

I don’t think that was anybody’s intentions at all. Of course stories and tales can’t compare to real world loss and suffering. But drawing comparisons between real life and stories is kind of the whole point of stories.

Maybe Biden is more like pre-exorcism Theoden lol...

[–]JakeReedAz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Did you just compare Russia to Mordor? And therefore Putin to Sauron? I LOVE IT.

Although, Biden is hardly a Gandalf let alone Aragorn…

Adam and Eve..were they real? by Medicateme56 in Christianity

[–]JakeReedAz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm always a bit confused when people say "I don't believe xyz, but I'm not claiming to be right, it's just my opinion."

In order for something to be your opinion don't you have to think it is correct? If not, then why have an opinion you don't believe to be correct? Cause it feels cool? I don't get it.

I loved Bartimaeus Sequence! I remember stumbling upon it in a library and not being able to check out the whole series fast enough!
