📚Currently reading:

🎧Lud in the Mist
🎧Rise of the King

Progress:
Glad I got back to the Drizzt novels, maybe I can finally catch up by next year. Been making slow but steady progress with Lud in the Mist. I am really loving it. I might pick another short audiobook between those two, but we shall see.

Mehso-so

I was finally in the mood to start these again. I think at this point I've made peace with the fact that I only really read these for the B plot with the dark elves, and to see what my favorite assassin is up to and his character development through the series. if it were not for those things I would not bother with this series at all. When Salvator wants to be good, he is SO good, but most of these books feel like mediocre shlock.

Doppoetry I'm beginning to think that Salvatore does not keep any notes because MC is going back and forth between subjects that I thought he already went through “This guy is my friend“ in one book “this guy is my Enemy“ in a different book “this guy is okay, actually but I still hate him but I like him but I hate him“ on a loop. It drives me crazy every time.

Doppoetry MC's asides between chapters are also hypocritical at best while trying to be deep but failing. The writing is so juvenile and pretentious.

I don‘t have any right now, but I‘ve planned out two.

On the inside of my left forearm, I want to get the Summoning Dark from Terry Prqtchett‘s Thud in red, and then the Guarding Dark in black over the top of it.

And on my right wrist I want to get the word uvumi from Tamora Pierce‘s Emelan books, looking like it‘s written with thread.

#SundayFunday I hope you all have a fantastic day, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

JenniferEgnor I‘ve wanted to get one for a while! A book that is open with its pages standing up, with something like stars or mist rising off of the pages, and it‘ll say ‘Carpe Librum‘. 10mo

Finished this one last night before bed! It was recommended by a friend of my sister‘s. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but am now kind of scared to read the others since I didn‘t realize it was part of a trilogy. In my experience the first book is always the best and then the rest go downhill.

I thought I only had a fondness for the paperback cover as it's the version I originally read from the library, but after I shelled out for the collector's hardback, I realized I actually like the paperback cover more! Oops. Oh well, I love this book enough to own it twice. This reread got right me in the feels! Glad to re-reading Snuff next because right now this and it are neck and neck for my fave Vimes book.

Robotswithpersonality Elaborating on the feels: I think the first time I read Thud! what stood out most was Sam's shouted reading of 'Where's My Cow' in Koom Valley, but this time it was Sybil, trying to convince herself everything was okay moments before Sam's rendition. She's such a rock normally, that realizing that she does take strength from Sam's steadiness, she does understand the sakes and can be very worried, just got to me. Brick, too, had me emotional; I think upon my first read, caught up in the mystery, he felt like an important clue that kept wandering off, but this time it was so clear, how little he'd had anyone to care for him, how Shine saved him, and Detritus taking him under his wing: 🥺. There was a whole 'we need better societal structures so various at risk communities, like those getting addicted to very dangerous drug admixtures, don't fall through the cracks' commentary wandering through this political/historical murder mystery! Which itself was an incredible statement on choosing peace. 👌🏻👏🏻 12mo

The exploratory approach to upholding the law. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Yet again reminded of my love for Sybil. Vimes might be growing in legend among the City Watch officers and the populace at large, to the point that they'd hesitate to say when he messed up, but Sybil will keep him humble. 😁

I was listening to a bit of this again while drawing.

Another Night Watch installment that could be summed up as Sam Vimes seeing the world conspiring to keep him from getting home on time to read the picture book Where's My Cow? to his young son. My favorite moment was Death having a "near-Vimes experience." ?
