Shroud - Adrian Tchaikovsky​

​

An engaging science fiction story about discovery. A fun read. 3.5/5

Last night we went to a book launch for books 3 and 4 of the Winter Mage series, written by Nerine Dorman and Frank McLachlan. Really fascinating heading about their writing process; Frank creates the concepts, framework, and world, and Nerine does the writing. Lots of editing, of course.

Almost done with the Assassin's Apprentice. It's been a bit of a slog, and a rather depressing read. Not sure if I'm going to continue with the rest of the series once I'm done.

I started the Audiobook about 2 weeks ago but gave up due to the first person narrative. I just don't enjoy it in an audiobook.

Moved on to Lies of Locke Lammora which I'm enjoying so far. (Fanie Dry (RIP) sent it to me years ago)

I'm trying Wheel of Time for the first time. Done the first two books, almost half way through the third after which I may stop.

I'm finding it very irritating that the characters are incapable of sharing pertinent information.

Listening to the audiobooks of the dungeon crawler carl series. Enjoying them a lot.

FP is just such an odd way to tell a story, so many books I have abandoned due to the jarring nature of reading (or hearing) the story being told in the first person.

RIP !

Funny thing is, I always listen to the sample on Audible before buying to make sure it's not FP. This time I listened for a few seconds and it started in 3rd person. Great, I'm grabbing it. Turns out it was the character in FP reading what he'd written in a book he was trying to write and I only realised once I'd used a credit and started listening past the opening

RIP !

Listening to the audiobooks of the Expeditionary Force Series by Craig Alanson.

Need to revisit the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks and catch up on the ones I have missed.

I'm wanting to try this series, but from my brief research there are something like 19 books, and they are all kinda rinse and repeat?

I finished it today and the last few chapters were great, I can't say the pay off was worth it though, still unsure if I should continue as the pace is just too slow. I've got Dark Matter, Empire of the Vampire and The Nord Stream Conspiracy lined up next so plenty of good options.

Once it gets started it’s an excellent series and universe as a whole and more characters than just Fitz to make it all a lot more interesting.

Must say it’s the first time an audiobook has worked for me, it fits the format well.

Still would only listen to it when stuck in the car.

Don’t think I could stand reading it.

I normally read and listen to the same book.. I'm not for this.

Please, for this ignorant soul, how do you listen when in the car? Ear pods to phone? Is it possible to load or play audio books through the sound system in a car? TK in advance

Phone connected to the cars system via bluetooth, then you just play the audio book as you would your music or whatever

or the aux cable for older cars.

If you want to go really old school then you get the Audiobook on CD or even tape !

Lol wtf, no not at the same time. I listen to the book in the car and that and then read it in bed. I usually try get to the end of a chapter either way so it's easier to track.
