Stupid iPad just put the picture where it wanted lol. I tried…I really tried but it is so boring! I only tried so hard cause it was one of my #bookspinbingo reads. I loved the first two but I have no idea what‘s going on. It‘s like there was something in between books 2 & 3 that I didn‘t read. That‘s on top of SUPER BORING.

julesG I take it you didn't read the short stories in between the novels? 6mo
persephone1408 @julesG no I didn‘t cause they cost just as much as the full length books. I didn‘t really have the money for all that. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 6mo
julesG I can understand. I got them when they were 99c deals. 6mo
persephone1408 @julesG I got the first one for free and had to pay for all the others. I don‘t think I‘ll buy the last one. 6mo

The third book in the #SkywardSeries luckily picks up immediately after the cliffhanger of the second book! Desperate, Spensa escapes the Superiority into the Nowhere. There she hopes to find answers to her Cytonic abilities by following the Path of Elders, and avoiding the delvers. The unique landscape of the strange Nowhere and the new characters (there‘s pirates!) makes this more of an adventure and less of a battle. Another great listen!

Cytonic has been on my shelf for several years and I finally read it! I think this is the only Brandon Sanderson book that I didn‘t absolutely love. I liked it, don‘t get me wrong, but it just didn‘t hook me like the other books did. I think the departure from the characters I love took me out of the story. But they did make an appearance toward the end of the book, so it gives me hope for Defiant. I‘m interested to see how this series wraps up.

A couple of weeks ago I rounded up all of the historical fiction I had on my tbr. Well today it‘s time for fantasy/sci-fi. Honestly, I figured I‘d have a bigger stack than this. So maybe I am doing a good job at thinning down my tbr.

Maybe that means I should buy a few more books? 😂😂😂😂

#Bestof2022

I started the year at a good rip, met my Goodreads goal, then hit a brick wall in my brain… I still managed to have some favorites. 🤩🤩

Here are my top 12 picks (favorite reads) for 2022. I‘ve noted which ones I ear-read, rather than eye-read. I know in at least 1 instance, it made a difference (Paris!). And yes, a romance novel made the list!
😳🫢🫣

What‘re yours?

Reggie Space Unicorn Blues!!! Loved that book! 2y
Avanders @Reggie right?! It totally took me by surprise 😁 A coworker gave me the 2nd for Christmas this year… 2y

I am so so thrilled to have finished this one! Admittedly, I did think the first 20% and last 20% had the best content and were paced better, but I am still really pleased with the ending of the book. I don't think I can give anything spoilerfree to say, but am glad some of my suspicions from the previous book turned out to be correct! I'll probably read all the novellas now.

The end of the year is right around the corner, and I still have quite a large tbr. But these three are going to be my priority(if I ever finish Words of Radiance). What book do you need to catch up on before 2023?

Now caught up on this series! I really liked this latest installment in the Skyward series - a YA Space Opera. Our heroine ends up in a mysterious place and we meet a whole new cast of characters. Though the first third was quite slow, once we start meeting new characters the story really becomes fun. The last 25% is action packed and emotional. 4⭐️

Follow.my.read I love EVERYTHING #Sanderson 2y
Daisey I really enjoyed the first book in this series; I need to read the rest sometime! 2y
Nessavamusic @Follow.my.read me too!! Almost caught up on The Stormlight Archive series too, then on to Mistborn 2y

🥺😖😫 I‘m sad this book is over and frustrated I have to wait until next year for the conclusion!! I know some have said this is the weakest in the series so far… idk maybe it is, but I loved it anyway! I listened to this on audio and the reader is, once again, phenomenal. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Also received a surprise package from @AmyG and almost didn‘t see this little instruction on the back! 🤭 Thank you! You‘re so sweet!! 💘💘💘💘💘

Trashcanman I hope you have a wonderful day 3y
Avanders @Trashcanman you too! I‘m trying! ☺️ I recently heard this thing.. I‘m not going to do it justice, but it‘s this dude talking about how heavy a glass of water is. And he said, weight is not relative, but heaviness is. If you hold the glass for 1 minute, it‘s far less heavy than if you hold it for 24 hours. He said focusing on the hard things in our lives is the same… & reminded us to “put it down sometimes.” And .. that‘s what I‘ve been trying 💙 3y
Trashcanman @Avanders that's an interesting analogy. I'm really struggling with a medication that I stopped taking. I'm having withdrawals and it's been pretty bad. It's all of my own doing. I feel like I'm always carrying a glass of water. I'm so tired. 3y

Avanders @Trashcanman oh yeah that‘s super rough… it hit my sister really hard, and she wasn‘t expecting it. Maybe reading and other distractions will help you put that glass down… even if for only a little while. You can get through this! 3y
Trashcanman @Avanders Thank you, I'm just so tired, you know. I'm going to lose one day. I can feel it. 🫂 3y
Avanders @Trashcanman well take each day as a victory then. Give yourself the space to be happy you made it through another one. Sometimes they‘re so hard… but every day you successfully get through one is another day you‘ve really accomplished something. 💪🏽 For real. 3y
AmyG If you need to open it sooner-please do. Sometimes we just need a little something. 3y
AmyG @Trashcanman I think of you often. Medication and stopping is so beyond hard. And each day you are here is pure bravery. (edited) 3y
Avanders @AmyG aww thanks 🥰 it‘s so true… as of now, I‘m pretty sure I can hold out… 😘 3y
AmyG And no book buying until you open it! 🤣 3y
Avanders @AmyG 🤭🤣 good call!! 3y
Trashcanman @AmyG thank you Amy, i appreciate you 🫂 3y
iread2much Oh, good to know that there will be a 4th, I will wait to read this one until the series is finished 😊 3y

4¾⭐
A satisfyingly ingenious science fiction/fantasy series that went in a surprising direction with this third installment. The “Nowhere” is where Spensa ends up for this book and it‘s not what you‘d be expecting…not that a place called the Nowhere really says a lot about what it could be. It was actually vibing with The Hollow Places a little bit. Strange but totally unique.

"I sure hoped I survived, because Gran-Gran really needed to add this story to her repertoire. Children in the future were going to insist my adventures were too outlandish—and therefore I wasn't an actual historical person, but one that was obviously made up, like Gilgamesh or David Bowie."

Think the quote sums up the book pretty nicely. ???

rockpools Hm. I‘m kind of curious… 3y
julesG @rockpools It's the third book in a YA Sci-Fi series. I started the series around midsummer, trying to find out whether it was something my son might be interested in. 3y
rockpools @julesG If you‘re still going, I‘m guessing it‘s not a flat No! It sounds fun. 3y
julesG @rockpools It's probably more suitable for my daughter, in a few years. My son is at a point where he doesn't read YA books with a female MC. He doesn't mind adult books with a female lead though. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3y
TheSpineView Excellant! 3y

Oh my, I just wrapped up another thrilling adventure with Spensa and M-bot!! 👍👍

What a great way to spend a cold, snowy and windy Sunday! However, I don‘t know why I thought Sanderson would wrap up this series on the third book. 🤔 I guess I thought it was a trilogy…? Anyways, the good news is that I can look forward to another book! The bad news is that now I have to wait till he writes the next one! 🤣

Nutmegnc Are there more coming?? 🙀 3y
SayersLover From what I can discover, there will be a sequel scheduled for release in 2023! So long to wait…. 🥺 @Nutmegnc 3y

Got some sci-fi reading in during my lunch break today! Degrees in the 50s and bright sunshine feels great! My favorite quote so far is the following: “It‘s curious, isn‘t it? It‘s like…people are all a little more real when they‘re together. Maybe together we remind one another what it is to be alive. To have a family.”

Book 3 in the Skyward series.

Might not have been the best idea to start this now. Just because the expected publication for book 4 is not until 2023.

I haven't participated in any of these in ages!

1) listening to Christmas songs, baking Christmas cookies, getting Christmas cards from my lovely #LitsyLove friends

2) I don't have a reading tradition for Christmas. Probably read the tagged book or continue with my WoT series reread
