  • If you could only recommend ONE book

    I'm bored so I'm gonna go get some more books, but I'm not entirely sure what ones to get and my friend isn't responding to my request for recommendations. If you could only recommend one book, one single book out of all the books you've read, what book would it be? And I'm not necessarily asking what's your favorite book. What's a book you would instantly recommend to anyone by default. What book instantly comes to mind when you think of recommending something. Standalone or series, any genre.

    Right now the only thing I can think of is starting the realm of the elderlings or just getting more books from series I don't own all the books for yet.

    So far this kinda just feels like it doesn't need to exist and is just a cash grab. I liked the first book alot so I'm hoping this gets better.

    This was so fun. This is deffinetly a "brain off" book but in a good way and honestly that's exactly what I wanted out of it. I love all the characters and it's so impressive that with as many characters that are present I didn't get anyone mixed up (the audiobook helped with that) and it gets bonus points for having animal sidekicks. The only thing that's a little odd is that some side characters are just forgotten about until it's relevant to the plot. There's a character that was consistently involved but then about 60% of the way through they dropped off the face of the earth and were never mentioned again. This probably isn't something I would have taken the time to physically read but it worked out great to listen to the audiobook while doing other stuff. This is deffiently very close to being a favorite.

    I’m really really hoping Kingfisher is not his real name.

    Turns out the latter dune books everyone has warned me about might actually be quite fun if your favorite characters have always been Jessica and Duncan lol
