This is my TBR for November (with the three books from my October tbr) I‘m rereading the tagged book as I have more of the series now. There are a lot of fantasy books but I really need to get these books read … if I don‘t finish some they will of course go to December but I read close to 30 books in October so here‘s hope I g I finish these

PurpleyPumpkin 30 books read in a month, wow! Well done you!🎉 2w
Ddzmini @PurpleyPumpkin thank you I was trying to keep count with the 20 books I picked for the month then I added books like witchcraft for wayward girls, matchmaking for psychopaths, and a few others I read in less then a day so it ended up being more then I wanted to sometimes it‘s fun and other times it sucks to read so fast 1w
PurpleyPumpkin I always want to read quickly. But I get your point about it sometimes not being so great to read fast because then I don‘t always remember what I‘ve read! It‘s like I can‘t absorb the story when I zip through it. 🤔 1w
Ddzmini @PurpleyPumpkin right but if the books is good it seems I just can‘t stop reading and if it is really easy to read I go faster 🤦🏼‍♀️ 1w
PurpleyPumpkin So true!!!😅 1w

There Before the Chaos | K. B. Wagers

Established in her role, her legacy, and her kingdom, Hail has a new set of challenges & a new set of folks looking to kill her. The battle between the Faria & Shen people has reached Indrana's backdoor and Hail is called upon to negotiate. Guess that's what she gets for having a ruthless past amongst the criminal element of the galaxy. Thing is...nothing ever goes to plan for Hail & dodging bullets might just be preferable to playing peacemaker.

I read a lot of reviews after this that thought it was halfassed but I had a good time with it. There is a bit of learning curve as there are no traditional chapter breaks and a fair bit of timeline jumping but once I settled into that I was engaged. I also really liked the Dwellers.

I made a small start on STAR NOMAD yesterday, before post-vaccine wooziness set in, and I‘m pleased so far! While the series‘ prequel novella didn‘t grab me, this official first book has a good hook and some intriguing characters. I‘m eager to read on.

Also of note: I refreshed my Kobo case with a fruit bat sticker from a brand new local makers‘ shop I discovered today. I proved powerless against this 3D printed dragon, too.

An excellent installment in one of my two favourite sci-fi series (the other being The Expanse). Listening to Grover Gardner's audio narration made this reread even more enjoyable.

Listed as a trilogy but actually the 4th book I‘ve read in the “Revelation Space” universe. After thousands of pages and over 15 years reading these books, I can believe how bad this was compared to the previous ones. If I hadn‘t invested so much time in this series I would have bailed on this one. I think Reynolds‘ agent must have been negotiating his Q9M pound deal as he wrote this so he just phoned it in. A boring, padded anti-climax

Bk3 of last months #bookhaul is one of my favourite genres, SciFi. The 1st book in what‘s been called a new epic masterpiece, it tells the story of Hadrian, a hero from the galaxy spanning war against the alien Cielcin. But it‘s the REAL story. He was not a hero. He was not a monster. He wasn‘t even a soldier. On the wrong planet at the right time for the best reasons, he must fight a war he did not start for an Empire he does not love.

Tried some more Lindsay Buroker alongside Sleepy!Casey, who‘s in the doldrums because his parents went to BC without him. Poor little soul.

The Fallen Empire prequel novella didn‘t really grab me, but I‘ll read at least a couple chapters of the first novel before I mark the omnibus as read. I think I tried it once before, with poor results, but maybe my tastes‘ll have shifted since then. I did mostly like the first three Dragon Blood books.
