This is it. The book that will either bind me to Schwab forever or shatter the bond completely.

I collect books like I’m gonna live forever. Haven’t read a single Rook & Rose yet, but I own them. Special edition.
The Riftwar Saga is next. Pray for my shelves. Or don’t. They knew what they signed up for.

April wrap-up: decent reading month, all things considered. The world’s a mess and Expedition 33 devoured my reading hours. But hey, still read some bangers.
The Crimson Fire is the book of the month for sure 🔥

I really enjoyed the last 20%, but Pawn’s Gambit was the first Rob J. Hayes book that didn’t work for me. It didn’t come close to matching the magic of Never Die and even as an audiobook, I had to push myself to finish. I’ll definitely keep going with the series, but this one let me down. #booksky

Slowly making my way through The Crimson Fire and it already punches hard and there are gods involved. Definitely hooked. What’s everyone reading this weekend? #booksky #currentlyreading

17% into To Those Willing To Drown and it’s already awesome. Pretty sure this will be one of my top reads of the year.

I should’ve started reading Faithbreaker two weeks ago. But better late than never, right?
I’ve only read about 15% so far, but it’s going well. I think it’s going to be better than Sunbringer.

March reading wrap-up! I was gonna read more, but then one of our cats died and the president jailed his biggest rival on the same damn day (Hi, from Istanbul). So I’ve mostly been grieving and defending democracy. 2025, please chill, I’m so tired.
I did read some really good books though #booksky

Chuck Wendig's The Staircase In The Woods rules btw. It is eerie, nostalgic, and unexpectedly emotional. A classic horror setup turns into a haunting look at friendship, regret, and the past we can’t escape. Creepy and gripping. Thanks @NetGalley for the ARC! Out on April 29th! #booksky #bookreview

The Palace Near The Wind by Ai Jiang is a beautifully written novella exploring family, tradition, and progress. While the world, magic, and themes are fascinating, its brevity limits depth. The family & conflicts feel underdeveloped, leaving the story unsatisfying overall.

Unfortunately, Fredrik Backman's The Answer is No wasn’t as good as I had hoped. I liked Lucas because he’s just like me—living his own life, staying out of everyone’s way, and wanting others to do the same. But of course, people don’t leave him alone. It’s a story about neighbors/apartment life. 3⭐

North American Lake Monsters is haunting and beautifully crafted. A series of short stories about monsters—not the jump-scare kind, but the kind that leave you unsettled. Dark, sad, and full of despair. I really liked it. 👍

Finally got my hands on The Fury of the Gods! Can’t wait to dive in tomorrow… unless I accidentally stay up all night 'just reading the first chapter'.

I really enjoyed The Fireborne Blade! Probably the most original take on dragons I’ve read in a while, and the illness theme was intriguing too. Didn't see the twist coming at all! I had my suspicions, but nothing like this. If you are looking for a quick fantasy read, I can recommend it.

I finished reading Harvest Home the other day. The story feels pretty predictable by today’s standards—you can see the twists coming from a mile away, but it wasn't bad. I thought it could make a good movie, and it turns out there's actually a two-part TV movie adaptation with a solid cast.

I only read 170 pages in October, hahaha, what a disaster. I've been terrible for two months now! The culprit for October is my obsession with Baldur’s Gate (even though I've already put in over 1,000 hours since it released) And for November, I’ll probably be blaming Dragon Age.

Been a while! What are you guys reading this week?
I'm reading Kosa by John Durgin. And also 300-ish pages in Lord of Chaos. #currentlyreading #booksky

#bookreview 📚 Hannah Kaner's Sunbringer - 3⭐
Although Sunbringer didn't quite captivate me like Godkiller did, it still held some intriguing elements. I missed the found family dynamic from the first book, which added a layer of depth that was absent here.

I am mixed on Empire Of Silence. I enjoy the book when I read it. The story keeps shifting with new places and characters, but it's also got this slow, endless feel to it. It's been 84 years.... 📚 #EmpireOfSilence #currentlyreading #booksky

#januarywrapup 📚 6 books, 1 comic book and a DNF. In January, standout reads were 'Thor' and 'Divine Rivals.' Thor was the ultimate good boy, earned a solid 5⭐ rating and became the book of the month. #booksky

I started Divine Rivals as an audiobook, thinking I could casually listen while doing chores around the house, but around 20%, I decided to continue with the ebook because it's just that good! I'll probably set aside the other books until I finish this one, which will likely be tomorrow. #booksky
