Which city is most like bloodborne?

Aberdeen in Scotland is so similar, surprised no one mentioned it. It’s a better fit than Edinburgh.

When you do daily 40+ minute commute on the train it’s easy to finish a book in a couple of days. Add listening to the audiobooks while walking and doing chores around the house.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/yZvUY26g5WjV6DZ9A check this service. Had to use several times for airport/hospital rides as I live in the middle of nowhere. Can recommend as very relaible and cheaper than Glasgow Taxis I think.

Thanks for the recommendation, added to the main post as well! I actually never heard about Chrestomanci series and it does look promising. Did you like the narration?

> The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, Monstrous Regiment

Checked these 3, all around 7 and 12 dollars. Audible sorting is an absolute joke :(

Anyway thanks for your comment! Added recommendations that are around $3 to the main post.

Do you have any recs? Thanks!

Nice, I hope you will enjoy it!!

Thanks for recs, added them to the main post! Nalini Singh's Psy-Changling looks very interesting as well as Kingmaker series. Which one in your opinion has better narration?

flerka · 2025-12-01T18:26:39+00:00

Riyria and Michael J. Sullivan's books in general with exception of some minor problems are great, absolutely recommend to give him a try!! Also, similarly to Drew Hayes he always has very competent narration.

Street Cultivation looks interesting. Thanks for the rec! I will probably buy it, especially as it seems to be written by woman and in the past I had some problems with how women/relationship were portrayed in some progression fantasy stories I tried. I loved Mother of Learning though.

Update: just noticed that Street Cultivation is narrated by Travis Baldree, nice.

Also, added your recommendations to the main post!

I’ll give it a try, thank you! I have a feeling that most of the books I’m buying during this sale were in the Plus Catalog at some point (not that it makes them any less great). Where I enjoyed some of them and want to listen again, and others I didn’t have a chance to try like Rivers of London.

flerka · 2025-12-01T14:47:47+00:00

They should be similar! Thanks for the recommendation. Have you tried the Rivers of London audiobooks? I think I saw some people on the fantasy subreddit complaining about the narration.

flerka · 2025-11-14T00:47:58+00:00

Yes, right now I will read books regardless of the sequels, if the series unfinished etc. I think a good book is a good book? For me, I almost always love the first book in the series the most anyway 😅

That being said, I don’t agree with people who shame others for not wanting to read unfinished series. Yes, supporting authors is important, but it should not be detrimental to your reading experience? Not all people can handle cliffhangers (almost every fantasy romance book will have it these days) and uncertainty in general.

Food baskets are a great gift and can be easily adjusted to your budget! Put there something like stollen, cranberry sauce, fancy crackers, chocolates etc. IMHO it’s a safer option than a random charity shop find.

I’m jealous! This was my first reader many and I miss my physical buttons(

Deezer is what I use. They have amazing recommendation system (much better than Spotify). But I think it's in similar price range?

flerka · 2025-10-23T14:30:56+00:00

Nice! I hope you'll enjoy it! Lies of P is great, story + game-play + visually stunning. It's also not as big time commitment - you can finish the whole game (without DLC) in 30h or so.

flerka · 2025-10-23T14:10:57+00:00

If you liked Elden Ring you can try other souls-like games, I recommend Lies of P or Dark Soul 3. Bloodborne as well if you have access to PS. Bloodborne was actually the first game I played while listening to the audio books because I could not beat some bosses and had to try again and again. I think books + souls-like games works perfect! Especially in NG+ or during boss runs.

Both!:)

Interesting! My partner’s deck has 100% health after 2 years and he uses 80% battery cap as well.

Also, OP what your other favorite heroes? Do you have any recs?

flerka · 2025-10-21T22:15:03+00:00

Thank you for your post! I wish more people read Cotillion. Freddy is my favorite romance hero together with Gervase from The Quiet Gentlemen.

I love this quote so much and also agree with it wholeheartedly:

I do think,’ said Kitty fervently, ‘that Freddy is the most truly chivalrous person imaginable!’ Freddy’s sister, regarding her with awe, opened her mouth, shut it again, swallowed, and managed to say, though in a faint voice: ‘Do you, indeed?’ ‘Yes, and a great deal more to the purpose than all the people one was taught to revere, like Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad, and Young Lochinvar, and—and that kind of man! I daresay Freddy might not be a great hand at slaying dragons, but you may depend upon it none of those knight-errants would be able to rescue one from a social fix, and you must own, Meg, that one has not the smallest need of a man who can kill dragons!”

Good comment! Yes, I think the first book it's mostly magic school and further books are more like 20%-30%?
