Me and my wife both are loving 11/22/63. Couple reading rarely happens in our house sadly, but this book has us both engaged.

In 2025, the only reading goal I have is reading the “other” books in the Lonesome Dove series. Lonesome Dove being the best book I read in 2024.

This week for me:
1. Finish Dungeon Crawler Carl: The Gate of the Feral Gods.
2. Catch up on Ghosts and the new Matlock.
3. Continue Project Hail Mary with at least a chapter a day goal (hasn’t been my favorite read so far (unpopular I know)).
4. Be better than I was last week.

I’m consistently surprised by how much heart is in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It not only makes me laugh out loud, but I really care for these characters and the decisions they make. I don’t know if I can call it the best “series” I’ve ever read thru 4 books, but it’s close.

I finished reading The Silmarillion for the first time today. It’s something I’m really glad to have read. I’m excited to reread The Lord of the Rings to see things….a little differently.

My fandom has taken a shift over the last two months. I’ve read very few comics, but have read all three Lord of the Rings books and (almost finished) The Silmarillion. I imagine I’ll still read comics, but I’ll be a lot more selective.
