Would love to see your review!

Ah, my bad. Thought you were using Linux.

Have you tried NeoChat? I switched from nheko to NeoChat a little while back and am pretty happy with it generally.

It doesn't seem to have very good ratings... how are you liking it?

Loooong weekend!

Ahan, that's good.

I have a couple of things that have been on pause and I have been meaning to get back to them. Maybe this can be one way to make myself accountable.

What is everyone holding themselves accountable for?

This seems like one of those cultivation/litRPG web novels. I remember reading this exact scene, but unfortunately there are so many of these novels with very similar premise, I can't recall exactly where.

Check on wuxiaworld.com, it's a site with licensed web novels, try to scroll through their Korean novel collections. I most probably either read it there or on Webtoon. Not sure.

Heh, no worries, the thread is for both readers and listeners.

And yeah, I basically turned to Koontz because I thought King was too long-winded. Though, I have recently read King and enjoyed it.

Ah, it's possible saw the name on reddit or HN, or maybe even twitter. I haven't been active in a decade either 😀
Or it could be someone else, with same or similar name.

Well, have fun, familiar looking name person! 😀

That's great to know. Death Mask is a definite step up from the previous books. I was afraid I may get burned out with the pace I am reading the series, but finished the book in couple of days.

Hope he start releasing books more regularly now. He did release a short-story and novella in Dresden Files world last year, and a Cinder Spires novel this year. He mentioned he will complete next Dresden Files novel by next year (it's at 24% on his site), so probably a 2025 release. It will probably end up taking a decade to get the final novel...

A debut duology. Sounds pretty interesting. Going to check it out.

BTW You name feels familiar, do you have other social media accounts with same name?

 

I just finished Death Masks by Jim Butcher, 5th book of The Dresden Files. Really enjoying the series.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening?

 

Copying from the weekly thread, over at !books@lemmy.world :

Finished Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. Fourth book of The Dresden Files. Things keep getting worse, stakes keep getting higher, Harry keep going through hell. Same old, same old.

Currently Reading Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King. It was recommended on reddit for books similar to the comic Y: The Last Man. I didn’t used to like Stephen King much before, but I can understand why. Book is 700 pages long, and first 100 or so pages were pretty much just a set up. I didn’t use to have patience for such slow books in my youth, though I am enjoying it now.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

P.S: I have mentioned the !books@lemmy.world (and the weekly thread) a few times here. Didn't see any rules against that, and am just trying to increase engagement for books-related communities, but if there's any issue with that, I can stop doing it. (Disclaimer, I am a mod there)

 

I have been away from Marvel comics for a little while. Anything interesting coming out this week on unlimited?

 

Hi,

Has anyone here read Artemis Fowl series? Thinking about getting it for my kid. Was wondering if it is fine for 8-9 year old kid.

Also, any other recommendations? He loved Diary of the Wimpy Kid, but struggled to get into Harry Potter.

Thanks.
