Depends really. I can't commit to something that'll impact what little community we have over there without running it by the members first. I'm not clued in on this place and I'm not experienced with migrating. Would ml users still have access?

Temeraire is one I need to go back to at some point. I got about 3/4s through the first book but never finished, can't even remember why anymore.

I didn't think I was much of a fan but then I checked the page to find apparently Morrowind and Pan's Labyrinth (still need to get round to Disco Elysium) count for New Weird. Two of my favourite things.

As for books, I got halfway through City of Saints and Madmen a few years back and I was enjoying it but the pace of the painter story really made me lose interest. Still planning to go back and finish it someday.

I loved the first two so much it pushed me all the way through the whole series but I look back now and wish I'd stopped at the short collections. Think I just needed to get to the ending, which I did enjoy tbf. Glad you're enjoying!

Read the first DCC recently! Absolutely breezed through it, such a fun book. Definitely doing the next one soon.

I started strong but I've been a bit slow recently. Read the first Wandering Inn book and it took a while. Dunno if I'll keep going with that series, wasn't quite my thing, but I did enjoy parts of it.

My favourite book released this year up to now would be The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison, and my favourite that wasn't released this year is probably Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb or The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K Le Guin.

 

How we doing folks? Read many books this year? What's been your favourite so far?

Came here for this one, I was so skeptical at first but damn it's good

I hate rocket, would sub for cress or lamb's lettuce, but otherwise this looks delicious and I think I'll be giving it a try. Great job!

Looks like Sparnies is the shop name (it's based in a place called Leamington Spa). No sign of chips sadly.

Sarnie is indeed slang for a butty

 
 

Your "To Be Read" list, that is. Tell us what's near the top or share the whole thing if you like. I'm nosy and like seeing what books people are excited about.

 

And how are you liking it?

I'm working my way through Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett and it's solid so far, lots of fun, very compelling. I'm not the fastest reader but I'm already halfway done after just a few days.

Anyone here participating in this year's r/fantasy book bingo? How's it going if so?

Attached a pic of my card so far. Working my way through Red Sister currently and quite enjoying it, turns out this Mark Lawrence guy is pretty good.

Edit: just realised I said "this year's" bingo when this may in fact be "the last" bingo. Oh well.
