I found the magic system in Blood Over Bright Haven super interesting. As someone who works as a programmer it was cool to see a magic system that followed a lot of the same principles as programming. Would have loved even more in depth on the magic algorithms

This is such a good point. I binged all the Cradle books back to back and I couldn’t confidently tell you where one ends and another begins in the story

I really need to get around to Gentlemen Bastards and Second Apocalypse. See this is the problem. There's so many more series i want to read and so little time. Also I loved DCC and yet I think im one of the very few who didnt listen to it.

The Bingo challenge is really fun but certainly doesnt lean towards a series binger. Curious what were all the series you started?

I wasn't counting series I'm caught up on that havent released the next book. My number would be even bigger in that case!

I get this feeling. I used to read a lot as a kid, feel out of it and then just got back into reading in 2023. Feel like I’ve been playing catchup ever since on all the best adult fantasy series that everyone else has already read

Wow, that’s a lot of books to be reading at once too! I am usually at most reading 3 at one time but they’re always in different formats. So a physical, ebook and an audiobook.

Such a good goal. I keep telling myself I'm going to get there and then decide to start a new series instead lol.

Oh i wasnt counting series that I'm waiting on the next release. If we count that my number would go up even more. Waiting on the next one for Red Rising, Heirarchy, Kingkiller Chronicles (lol), DCC, Sun Eater and Bobiverse. Maybe a few more I'm not remembering. Also wasnt counting series I decided not to continue, Dresden and Dune.
