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.

(Congrats!)
You know, it never occurred to me that uh, Dexter was a book series. I guess most of the good shows are. I'm definitely gonna read this Apolo Ohno self-bio on my bus trip up north, some time after beating MMX on the Evercade EXP but before beating Breath of Fire. I don't like the vibes so far so it's probably gonna be a hate read but I'll fudgein do it

Hey, I actually had my second kid 3 weeks ago, my numbers dropped off a bit at that point
However I did just finish off the next book in the series that me and my wife listen to when driving. Lady's Random by Jeff Wheeler.
Also hoping to finish off one more by the end of the year. Only a couple more hours left

congrats @bogo. We had ours back in April but it's been A LOT.
@DarkFact yes, and the book series is completely different in a lot of ways. I started book 7 and it looks like there's 8 books. Very good reads.

Well, finished up Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. Good start to an interesting series. Also, just did a count cause I felt like it, and this actually puts me at 54! Means I passed my goal!!

Fellowship of the Ring is technically broken up into 2 books. I finished the first book before the end of the year, so I'm counting that as my 5th book. I met my 2022 goal! I'll be reading more in 2023.

I finished Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy on 12/29/22. What a brutal experience. McCarthy's writing really paints a picture as he doesn't scrimp with details of violence, gore, and savagery. Slow burn with a few absolute monsters of characters. Loved it but certainly not a book for everyone.

Good stuff. I'll be doing an archival shift and converting the thread to 2023 sometime this week probably, got a root canal to take care of in a couple hours so probably not today.

My personal goal is 20 books for 2023. I think I can do it. I'm listening to one book when I drive and reading another on my phone -- I got a few physical books I need to get to also.

Count up your systems like Sinnie did!

Down to 4 systems. I expect I will read significantly less with a 1-year old at home. The first 6 or so books I read last year were during her first few months last year where there is a lot of downtime and trying to be quiet between naps and feeds. Even with that 4 books should be pretty manageable.

I finished a short book called The Lightning Tree, by Patrick Rothfuss.
To my knowledge, the book was only printed inside of a larger story book called Rogue, a collection of stories by different authors.
I got that one from the library specifically to read The Lightning Tree. It was entertaining. I wasn't disappointed. It follows the ongoings of a character from Name of the Wind named Bast.

Finally finished the first book of the year (and already half done with another). Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett, book two in the series that I started last year. Good continuation, really upping the stakes. Third book should be interesting

Finished book 6 in the Dexter series... I am in the middle of 2 other books and then plan on finishing the last one in that series.
Dexter's Final Cut was a bit lacking from other books but still enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing how the author wrapped it up.
