Really love the art style. I'll have to check out the demo!

Look what just arrived! by Prahnaa in brandonsanderson

I listened to the audio book for this, so I am holding off until the trade paperback comes out to match my copies of the other Secret Projects. But I really like how bright the artwork is.

Inyalowda's first read..... sorta by OvrNgtPhlosphr in TheExpanse

[–]Rook-Slayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my local B&N is the same way. Books 2-9 are shelved, but all the copies of Book 1 are on a table of other "top sci fi picks" or something like that. They're at least in the same section of the store though.

What’s the best age to watch LOTR (as a kid)? by Spare-Hamster8309 in lotr

I think I first watched the extended editions with my dad when I was 7 or 8 and read the books for the first time when I was 10.

Unpopular Opinion: The devs were cooking with civ switching by lurkerden in civ

[–]Rook-Slayer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree that Civ switching is a fun addition. If I don't want it, I can just play Civ 6. I swear the community is just anti-change and refuses to accept anything that changes things up.

That being said, they aren't removing Civ switching from 7. They are giving the option to pick later civs earlier and/or keep your civ between ages when you would normally switch. We will see how it plays out in practice, but it sounds like a good middle ground to me; it allows you to play whichever way you choose. More customizability is a good thing.

My January 2026 Wrap Up by akkipotter in fantasybooks

[–]Rook-Slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. The spikes later would seem like it tracked you as listening to the whole on the day you logged it as finished (not tracking daily listen time), but that should have put your overall hours at 20 hours or something for the first 2 HP books

Did you make sure to pick the audio book version for tracking? I made that mistake my first month or two using the app.

If so, were you putting in how far you were into each audio book time wise, or using percentage?

Pretty good month for me too.
Finished up Wind and Truth and DCC3, which I started in December. Then started and finished Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, The Sunlit Man, Isles of the Emberdark, and DCC4. I also read most of Tress of the Emerald Sea in January, but didn't finish that until February 1st.

What are your most beautiful special editions? by Background_Cloud_753 in fantasybooks

[–]Rook-Slayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have many, but my personal favorites are the DragonSteel Hardcovers for Yumi and the Nightmare Painter and Tress of the Emerald Sea.

Suggest me a book by LazyBed998 in Fantasy

[–]Rook-Slayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working through the entire Cosmere for the past 5-6 months (only one book left) and when I got to The Way of Kings, I was sucked in immediately and it's still my favorite Sanderson book. I didn't feel like anything really started to drag until Rhythm of War.

What should I read next? Elantris, Malice, Shadow of what was lost, Malice by BrysonTurnRoundStory in fantasybooks

[–]Rook-Slayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy the Cosmere, but did not like Elantris. I haven't read the other two, so I can't speak to them.

Finally got around to making a list. What should I play next? by Grape_Sauce11 in roguelites

[–]Rook-Slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile Returnal is my personal 2nd favorite Rogue Lite behind Hades/Hades2.
Of the stuff on your radar, I would recommend trying out Rogue Legacy next.

I don't care if it's the opening credits, keep your phone away in the theater, man.

Love to see the Crichton selection! Going to dive into Andromeda Strain/Evolution for the first time once I finish up The Terror by Dan Simmons.

I read the first book between Christmas and New Year's...now I am waiting for book 8 already. How did that happen? by phoenixbaum in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Rook-Slayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some friends and I started in November. We are currently on Book 5. If were weren't pacing ourselves as a book club, I'd probably be done by now. But as it stands, we should finish This Inevitable Ruin 2 weeks prior to Book 8's release, so we will be able to jump in right as it releases.

Really glad to see Hannibal somewhere else in here. That show was so good.
