1·2 months agoNot a 1 day read but reasonably short (I normally read it in about 2-3 days of non-dedicated reading) is the Scorpio races by Maggie stiefvater. It’s a lovely read that focuses pretty heavily on the two man characters which is what draws me in every time. I read this book 14 times one year in high school and I continue to read it once a year
Good to know! I’ll add it to the ever growing list
Is the rest of the series good? I read the first one and thought it was pretty good but a reasonably well wrapped up story by the end
Book 4 is a bit slow but it picks up a lot after that.
That said don’t feel obligated to read something that Doesn’t interest you of course
My issue with the silo trilogy is the end kinda drags on a little bit and you’re just waiting for it to come. Otherwise I really like those books. There’s also a show Thats Apparently really good too!
1·7 months agoI loved the voice actors and the visuals of hades but I actually couldn’t really get into it much. The gameplay just didn’t quite work for me lol. Different strokes for different folks I guess
Thanks for sharing your opinion! I think a lot of people enjoy digging into a game via guides and wikis to learn how to min-max. I think I’m one of those people so I would probably enjoy that aspect it.
I think (without having played more than 1 run) that a lot of where improvements come from in skill is consistency, and that’s something I enjoyed a lot is learning slay the spire (making most runs at least somewhat viable).
All that said, it’s a game and you should obviously enjoy yourself playing a game, or leisure time in general :P A shame it didn’t land for you though
Can you elaborate. 2 of my friends both love this game. Just curious what left you feeling underwhelmed
This looks sick! Thanks for sharing it :)
My favourite book is hands down the scorpio races by maggie stiefvater. I’ve read that book so many times I’ve lost count now
Very cool excerpt. Made me think of the witcher quote about lesser evil:
Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.
I’ve played a decent amount of this game (nothing crazy, <20 wins on hard) and the new changes released recently feel pretty good! Would definitely recommend checking this out. I would personally recommend playing on mobile since it works so well for that platform
What are your reading habits like? I try to read at a minimum a chapter a night. That said I read a lot thanks to my commute to and from work 3x per week. I seem to read about a book a week. I do it for pleasure and I’ve gotten better about not finishing books. Though I will probably finish a book even I’m not loving it. It has to be bad for me to not finish.
In being an avid reader I think it’s important and valuable in reading some stuff that isn’t as fun (mostly classics). That said I think people who don’t read much can steer clear easily. It’s a hobby and do whatever you like doing the most.
What do you like to read? Mostly fantasy or SciFi. Ive been branching out into more traditional fiction genres and I’ll read some historical things from time to time. I’m not tied down to a genre but I find poorly written fantasy can get carried by cool concepts or world building.
What kind of stage of life are you in, and how does that affect it? I just started my career and I’ve been reading all my life. My mum made sure I would read since I was quite young and I liked it. I’ve had ups and downs ans I definitely read more now than I did in high school and university thanks to my long commute.
What else? I’ll reiterate, do what you like even if it is to not read. Live life your way. That said, if you wanna get into reading, setting yourself a page or chapter target daily is a good place to start. Don’t worry about how many books you read in a period. Sit back and find enjoyment in what you are reading or did read, not stress in what you didn’t read.
I’ll throw you a book recommendation because it’s always gotten me out of a reading slump: the Scorpio races by Maggie stiefvater. It’s targeted at younger folks but I think it’s an extremely enjoyable read still and has plenty to Enjoy for anyone
