DUE TO HEAVY THREAD USE, I'VE CLOSED PARTICIPATION TO NEW USERS. IN ORDER TO JOIN THE CHALLENGE YOU NEED TO PAYPAL ME $25. TO SUPPORT THE THREAD. IF YOU SIMPLY START POSTING AND SAYING WHAT BOOKS YOU READ, I WILL BE VERY PUT OUT, PLEASE ASK YOUR MOTHER OR FATHER FOR $25 TO SUPPORT THE THREAD. THANK YOU.
I can keep a tally of users and total books they've read, just drop in here and say what you read and what you thought about it, should be a fun discussion I think. Oh, and I guess let me know how many systems you own or something. Maybe you'll win a prize! Probably not. Read books because it's the Chad thing to do on a website about trading videogames.

Figured numbering them would make it less work for @DarkFact to track me for updates.

I miss posts too. It's not my fault, I'm American so I never learned how to read. Appreciate any efforts made to keep the list correct, the stakes are obviously high.

The highest stakes, low/no barrier-to-entry, pseudo book club where everyone just reads whatever they fancy at whatever pace they desire that is hosted on a predominately gaming-centric trading site that I've ever come across, for sure.
(In all seriousness though, I do appreciate this thread. I've already added - likely too many - books/series to my reading backlog from people's comments on here.)

I've read several books I wouldn't have read without the thread, so I appreciate the thread myself. Luckily even though it's REALLY hard to increment numbers by 1-3, somehow the maintenance on the thread is low enough to squeeze it into my (unironically) busy schedule these days

Guns of the Dawn

Enjoyed this one, was able to guess the ending about mid way through. This writer might become my favorite as so far it's 3/3 good books I've read by him.

13 - The Last Horizon Book 1 (the captain)
Wanted more of the same narrator from the cradle series. Not bad, but nothing amazing so far. Onto the second book of the series

7. The Wardstone Chronicles book 3: "The Spook's Secret"
I actually read half the book while at the airport to Texas, and 1/4 of the book while at the airport to Ohio, then just finished the book a bit ago.
I'm still reading "How to Disappear." It's almost finished so I brought a new book with me to read at the airport.

14) Everything Inside Stories By Edwidge Danticat - Stories that involve Haitian immigrants, mostly set in Miami. The situations were all interesting with mysteries revealed along the way. They mostly involve some form of grief or tragedy. I had a little trouble getting into them at first, but ended up really liking them. There's a palpable sense of humanity and compassion in these stories. I gained some perspective on Haitians in the process (not just refugees and victims of disasters).

I read The Duty Free Shop by Jeremy Harshman who I met at a local Dad Group MeetUp. Fun little sci-fi romp. Some decent world building for a 100 page novella. I'd be interested in going back to the Sky City setting and seeing what else the main character would get up to if he ever ends up continuing with the series.
From talking to him though it seems he prefers to write fantasy rather than sci-fi. Either way, I give a ton of credit to anyone who is actually able to get something published. Always happy to help someone out with a couple bucks and any exposure I can give them as well.

Book #8 is done this evening, the one I originally started as book #7 but read a full book for my vacation while waiting at the airport.
#8 "How to Disappear" by Frank M. Ahearn w/ Eileen C. Horan.
I mainly bought this book to read about how to limit information on the internet as well as remove unwanted information (or try to anyways), but it does have some interesting things to talk about regarding private investigators, both legal and illegal (not recommended by author) ways of disappearing and gives some live examples for stories. It also lists a few resources people can use to try to find their information, what's out there, etc.
