I'm certainly liking it so far. I'm not far in yet, though.

Finished reading The Black Gryphon with my sibling. Was surprisingly progressive for when it was written, and although the non pov characters were very cardboard, it was a fun read.

Listening to Good Omens finally. I absolutely love the comedic writing, and about half the cast. The actual plot bites me to tears so I've had trouble focusing on it, but weirdly still enjoying it.

Started Perdido Street Station. New Crobuzon feels like he took the Cantina scene in star wars and expanded it to an entire city. And I love that the PoVs so far are an artist and a scientist just doing their thing.

Same boat here, hopefully it helps!

I never actually played EQ1, although EverQuest 2 was also a favorite of mine. I mostly follow the interesting crafting systems.

On the plus side, ffxiv's free trial is quite generous when you do get to it.

Vanguard Saga of Heroes, if it had had a year more to cook before launch. I fell in love with the crafting system, and the Diplomacy sphere was super neat.

FFXIV being my other favorite, as it is now.

If you're one for enjoying surprises as you read, I would heavily recommend using their time travel feature to avoid spoiling yourself as you read. It saved me many times, personally. And every time I turned it off to look anyway, I regretted it. https://coppermind.net/wiki/Special:TimeMachine

They're not exactly how you wanted, but it lists series and # in the second column

Sounds about right. By the time I take a book off the TBR it feels like I've added 10 more.

Locked Tomb has its own wiki on fandom, but if you're planning on reading it I'd steer clear, as it's a pretty spoilerable series.

I haven't used it yet, but I hear Libby with a local library card does well. You're still not owning the books, but they're free

Reading Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway. I love the humor in his writing style, but it does make the non action parts a bit slower reading. I'm also listening through Nona the Ninth, the third book in the Locked Tomb by Tamsyn Muir. Moira Quirk's narration makes this such a delight. Only drawback is waiting for my book club to catch up so I can read more.
