Lost (she/they)Dungeon Crawler Carl was not over-hyped by my friends. Finished the first book in a day, and immediately started book two. Craving playing an MMO now, but not sure which game would strike a similar achievement unlocking itch. I also just got The Devils, Joe Abercrombie's latest book, on ebook, so I also need to read that too! <a href="https://cutie.city/tags/CurrentlyReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CurrentlyReading</a>

I'm finally reading it.<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Accelerando/q7SZWVMS_l0C?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/books/edition/Accelerando/q7SZWVMS_l0C?hl=en</a>

I am reading it slowly to make it last. "Told with humour and compassion his unique insights allow us to glimpse the awe and wonder of a life lived in nature and offer wisdom on how each of us can escape the stresses and pressures of modern life."

Antonina_orthefallofrome📚 “I will not leave him in peace. I will not let him forget.” 👍 A beautiful girl, a brilliant mind, and the games played by Kings. This book takes a hard look at the power a woman wields while thinking herself a chess piece. The heartache is something to yearn for, because in yearning we truly live. We want most what we cannot have and that drives our story to its inevitable conclusion, because history is written by the victors. . . .

Chinchilla-SketcherFinally reading the last quarter of "the Mistress of the Empire" by Feist&Wurts. It's a small chance but I might finish it next Monday.

Since Anne was already in the tower, I was back up at 8 am to finish. I have Gene Wolfe's, "The Book of the New Sun" on my shelves. I think I'll revisit it soon. No, no particular reason, cough, executioner-protagonist, cough.

Edelruth In The Wrong Timeline<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/currentlyreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#currentlyreading</a> Volume 2 of the series, I am living, through the eyes of Thomas Cromwell, through the stressful times after the death of Katherine of Aragon, and Anne's miscarriage. I feel like I am there. I care about these people, and fear for their future as though I I had never sat through a history class.

Kevin LaRose, AOC2028<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/CurrentlyReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CurrentlyReading</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> I recently started The Last American Road Trip by Sarah Kendzior. The book is a huge departure for her. I’ve known of her for many years as a progressive firebrand who hosts the podcast <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GaslitNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GaslitNation</a> and in the past few years got too over the top even for me. I now know that she was absolutely and completely right. Anyway, The Great American Road Trip is a travelogue of sorts where she discusses car trips she has taken with her husband and two kids over the past few years. I’m only two chapters in and I’m totally captivated. No doubt this is in part due to the fact that I’ve yearned to go on a cross-country road trip all my adult life, and now I’m becoming sadly resigned to the notion that I’ll almost certainly never get to do it. I’d highly recommend.

Chinchilla-SketcherUpdate on "Mistress of the Empire" by R. Feist & J. Wurts: I finally read through the fifth chapter. Yay!

Chinchilla-SketcherThe moment I've realized I have 500+ pages book and only two weeks to finish it... and zero motivation. Feist's "Mistress of the Empire" is so dense in politics.
