pickThis book was a wild, violent, sometimes quite funny ride. Carl and Donut, a champion show cat, become unwilling participants in a global underground game battling orcs, rats and other monsters for the fate of the Earth. Combining video game world-building, The Hunger Games spectacle and buddy comedy chemistry, it makes for a fast and furious read. I only read this for cat book club but I'm tempted to read the sequel just to see what happens.
pan4 ⭐This book is a soft DNF. On a day when I couldn‘t find an audiobook that fit this one did. This is an extremely long audiobook over 20 hours, and I did listen to approximately three. This story is about the offspring of a king, who has no chance of ever sitting on the throne and has been in isolation on the outskirts of the kingdom. They receive news that their father and all the older brothers have died which means they are now the monarch.
pickOMG as a D&D player I loved this. From Princess Donut to Mungo. This book is just pure entertainment.
panSomeone recently told me that George MacDonald was their favorite author.
I had never heard of him, so I decided to give this short audiobook a go.
Not for me.
I can see how fantasy readers would enjoy this, but I have come to the conclusion that fantasy will never be my jam.
I'm not getting through this book as quickly as I'd like but I am enjoying it immensely.

Progress:
Made progress with a lot of my readings, and I am happy I finished 2 novellas and a novel. Will continue to make good progress in this following week.
pickFirst #auldlangspine title finished from @Karisimo ‘s list & I loved it.
Maia is thrown into court life when he is crowned emperor after the unexpected death of his father & half-brothers. Having grown up in exile with only an abusive caretaker, he knows nothing of life at court or how to rule. I very much enjoyed watching him find his way, create friends & learn to deal with bullies & enemies. This one felt cozy-adjacent to me.
4.5 ⭐️
Started my first #auldlangspine read this afternoon. 84 pages in already and I can tell this is going to be a good one!
Maia‘s youthful naïveté is so far endearing as he is thrown into court politics and formality. I‘m very curious to see how he handles it, the friends he continues to make and where it all goes.
So far, it reminds me a little of The Queen of the Tearling which I loved.
@Karisimo your picks are off to a great start!
pickI liked this. Maia is a precious angel of a character that is easy to love. Though this is a high fantasy, it is also in essence a mystery. Once you get used to the language, it was very fun to follow the clues along with his growing collection of alliances. I do recommend the audiobook, it is well done and helps a great deal telling characters apart. 4⭐️
