I had placed this on hold last year! This year, my grandmother passed, and this book came in the week before her memorial. I think the universe knew I needed this at this precise moment. I don't think I'd have had the same lens reading this as I do right now. Going to be thinking about this one for a long time.

Post from the Carl's Doomsday Scenario (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #2) forum
I am enjoying this so much!!! I like the evolving dynamic and being completely unable to predict what challenging aspect will be thrown at Carl (and the other crawlers) next. I already know I'm going to be serving a very large plate of Upsetti Spaghetti when I complete this series because I won't want it to be over!

I am new to audiobooks this year, as I currently have a job where I can listen to one most of the day if I want, and it has been wonderful for me personally. But I've definitely noticed a narrator can def change my rating of a book, which seems kind of silly sometimes lol. For example, there is a book series spin off that I know a lot of people were not the biggest fan of but I listened to it as an audiobook and LOVED it and owe some of that to the narrator because I really felt like he brought all these characters to life and voiced the mc so well. Meanwhile, one I'm reading right now I think I would like a lot more as an actual book instead of audiobook because the narrator is just throwing me off a bit. Not that he is a bad narrator, but it's just not hitting for me, ya know? Anyways, what are your guys favorite narrators or audiobooks where you think the narrator does a fantastic job, I would love to add more to my list to check out!

unfortunately my brain works in compartments and now I entered the "movies" one and the "books" one is just closed at the moment. so I'm on reader's block but I finally unlocked the movie watcher's block ??? I missed movies tbh but now I feel horrible for all the books I bought. do you think it is fair to call this "reader's block"? does it happen to you? how do you deal with it?

Hey guys, so my uncle adopted a little boy and I want to expose him to the wonders of reading. I'm looking for good representation books of POC so he can read and identify with the characters. The problem is I cannot find many books with the main character being a POC. Can you guys help me please.

Probably the best use of multiple POV I've read. Each character was unique, and the overlapping, past & present storylines kept the story fresh and exciting the entire way through.

This weekend I was lucky enough to find these books in the thrift shop / op shop in Melbourne: Armada by Ernest Cline Empathy by Fay Lee A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman (Been on my TBR since I read the novella "The Answer is No".) Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (My colleague was raving about how bad the movie was but how good the book is and said I had to read it. The Guncle by Steven Rowley (On the Pride Month Readalong!) Then I walked past my local street library (free book exchange) to drop off some books and found: This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone (Since I joined Pagebound this book has appeared in my feed, on people I follow's "My Taste", on BookTok etc.) After jumping up and down at finding this book for free, I got pooped on by a bird 🐦💩 and then tripped on a crack on the sidewalk. So I guess I lucky streak ran out at that point. Do y'all thrift books and do you have a street library near you?
