There's a bunch of duplicate entries for this book on here so I just picked one randomly. @smorkin@idiomdrottning.org just read it and then lent his copy to me. I've been on a "I don't want to start too many new books at the same time" kick lately and this might break the proverbial camel's back but first few chapters in I'm loving the book. Always wanted to read this series.

My next audio book is a reread. I've read the paper book three times and listened to this audio book once before. But I can't afford buying new audio books all the time, I can't justify it w/o re-listens. And I love it so that's another plus

This one will take a long time to read because the device I put the ebook on isn't one of my main reading devices. Seems great so far

The second of the two books I got on Christmas. It was great. Love books where "screentime" is a big obsession and a big deal.

I got this for Christmas and read it right away. I loved it. (Except for the gross parts.) I was gifted another of her books too which I haven't started yet.

And this is my current audio book. Starting a new audio book is fine, it doesn't compete with other reading time. I redownleaded Kallocain also (which I've read in paper a couple of times and as audio book once before) in case I need a spare one I can reread that. Not logging that one since I haven't started it.

I like this one so far.

I keep on starting books. I'm really in the mood for some Tolkien too, over Christmas. but I've got too many books started.

I don't read a lot of prose right now (comics yes: I recently reread the entire Tuva series for example. But also video games and watching Against the Odds on YouTube) but I still started yet another book 🤦🏻‍♀️ without finishing any of the other started ones. (But, keeping track of them on here might help me get to them if I get in a book mood later.

Now, my rule is to only log books as started on here once I've read several pages, a chapter or so. There would be many many more if I counted reading half a page as starting a book. That's just how fluttery my mind is. And why sites like this are a good tool.

I haven't started a new audio book either. Been a li'l overwhelmed with podcasts 💁🏻‍♀️

A rare DNF but I'm just not feeling it. Not into snarky books. Keeping my bookmark in so I can pick up later if I get more in the mood. I've read a gajillion manga on this theme and a couple of anime but I expected this to be in like the upper two fifths at least given how many recos I got for it but so far it's like in the lower fifth. Near the top of lower fifth (it's a lot better than say Only I know this world is a game) but not as funny as say Uncle From Another World or Bofuri or as poignant as Frieren or Lodoss. When it doesn't even beat out the horrible Greed Island arc of Hunter × Hunter you know it's bad. But! That's me being less than 5% in! I can certainly see myself giving it more of a chance later.

Here's one time I've really regretted using Bookwyrm becaune I did not know, did not want to know the subtitle of this book. (My edition doesn't have it.) I like just starting reading on page one and see where the story takes me.

I embarked on a reread of this. No promises I'll finish
