I liked this better than Monsters of the Multiverse. What I liked best was the descriptions of various species‘ pantheons, which will be very helpful to me as I build my Elf Cleric.

Future | Nicholas Briggs

And with that, Series 3 of Dalek Empire concludes. I continue to think Galanar displays some Tenth Doctor vibes at times. His last little speech had a touch of the Fifth about it (from “Earthshock”, where Five describes to the Cyber Leader the value of emotions).

A high so-so to low pick. The characters are interesting, and I liked that as a barrister, Skelton had a legitimate stake in solving the crime, but the mystery itself kind of fizzled out at the end. I‘ve put the next book on my to-read list but am not in a hurry to read it.

I found this an interesting exploration of Canadian music in the 1990s, feminism, and personal reflexivity. I read the 2024 edition with a foreword by Vivek Shraya.

Went to the advance poll today to vote in our federal election. Long line, so I read while waiting my turn. When I got to the front of the line, the poll worker saw my book and exclaimed « Brandon Sanderson! » His friends are really into Sanderson‘s work, so that was fun to trade geeky enthusiasms. (He is more into anime.) I was rewarded with a fist bump for being cool ??

ShelleyBooksie I voted too - rock on ♡ 1w

What an ending to the first Mistborn trilogy! It was such a ride. And now I want to read the trilogy again to see all the clues that must have been there from the beginning.

Structurally, this book is a Pick. Lots of info about the world of Eberron, and even a few sample adventures to get the campaign started. But content-wise, for me, it‘s a so-so, because Eberron is a grim, gritty noir world and I don‘t think I would enjoy a campaign there. I also skimmed most of the last two chapters.

My April 2025 #Roll100 picks are trying to be a bit more highbrow but don‘t entirely escape the clutches of sci-fi 😆
- Our Mutual Friend (Dickens)
- Doctor Who: Evolution (Peel)
- Redgauntlet (Scott)
I might put Dickens on my Serial Reader, which I haven‘t used in a long time! It‘s such a useful app, but I fell out of the habit of using it.

More of a high so-so for me. For whatever reason, I found this harder to get through than the more « flip-through » books such as Xanathar‘s Guide and Tasha‘s Cauldron. I did like the cool dragonborn ranger, though, and recorded the info for future use.

More of a low Pick than some installments of this series, but still good for a quick listen.

An interesting read, with funny asides between Volo and Elminster. Some really creepy illustrations; well done!

Tapestry of the Boar | Nigel Tranter
Pickpick

Probably a low Pick. Similar to Tranter‘s book Kenneth for me: a period of early Scottish history that I‘m not super familiar with, a decently digestible read, and a romance that was eye-rolly but also not as terrible as it could have been.

review
rabbitprincess
Pickpick

A low Pick for this one because it was a bit denser than the other D&D books I‘ve read so far (which have more bite-sized chunks of information). I did make note of a few interesting character background options and the history of the Moonshaes.

Well of Ascension | Brandon Sanderson
Pickpick

I once again rocketed ahead of the buddy read for this because I could not stop reading! This was a bit longer than the first book, Mistborn, so it was a bit more of an effort in places, but WOW am I really loving this world.

This was a fun collection of bits and bobs. I found a bunch of neat spells that of COURSE my current character (a Cleric) can‘t actually use 😂 Also liked Xanathar‘s asides and the disclaimer on the copyright page.

review

Pickpick

It‘s neat to read this now that I have the 2024 ruleset to see what made it into the new rules. The chapter on « group patrons » was cool too for presenting ways to bring the party together rather than just meeting in a tavern ?

review

A great assortment of essays, speeches and book reviews. My faves included one about the author‘s Belgian grandfather‘s family, one about using Stephen Leacock‘s work to understand the author‘s British grandfather, and a surprising little treat about my fave dinosaur, Parasaurolophus.

Vin says she couldn‘t have loved Kelsier because « he was old, for one thing ».
Elend: I seem to recall you made fun of my age, as well.
Vin: That‘s different. You‘re only a few years older than me—Kelsier was ancient.
Elend: Vin, 38 is not ancient.
Vin: Close enough.

Ouch, guess I will be Ancient + 1 this year ?

Mistborn: The Final Empire | Brandon Sanderson

I don‘t think I‘ve ever exclaimed « Holy shit! » (in a good way) so much at a book in my life. The world that Sanderson has built is super neat and this story was such a wild ride. Glad for the #CosmereBuddyRead to get me started with Sanderson‘s work ?

A Man and His Cat 12 | Umi Sakurai

Treasure Hunt | Molly Keane
Pickpick

I nearly gave up on this in the first few pages because of the wildly descriptive beginning. Then I read this was adapted from a play by Keane, so I was able to see that as the stage directions for Act 1, Scene 1. And then the action started. The love triangle was not for me, but I very much liked Aunt Anna Rose.

Eye of Heaven | Jim Mortimore
Mehso-so

A high So-So verging on low Pick. For the most part, Leela, who narrates most of the chapters, is rendered well, but her knowledge of sailing ships is not plausible to me (those bits felt like “research“). I also found the story was told just enough out of order to be disorienting chronologically.

Demons | Nicholas Briggs

This was such a good installment of Dalek Empire! David Tennant does an excellent job as Galanar, and the dramatic cliffhangers continue to pile up. I refreshed my memory of earlier Dalek Empire arcs, and this is building on the story really well.

The Inshore Squadron | Alexander Kent
Pickpick

Overall, I'd say this was a Pick. The pace was good for a historical novel, and I enjoyed reading about the Battle of Copenhagen given that I visited the city this past summer. The only downside to this book: few female characters, and what ones exist are not well rounded. (I don't expect many given the setting, but it would be nice for the ones there ARE to be interesting.)

Apollo 13 | Jim Lovell, Jeffrey Kluger

My October pick for #12BooksOf2024 is Apollo 13, by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger. A fascinating, suspenseful read. I was inspired to watch the movie as well, and that was also great.

mom2bugnbee Had you never seen the movie? It's in my top 10 of all time. One of my favorite Tom Hanks performances. (He's my favorite.) 4mo

My September pick for #12BooksOf2024 is The Fellowship of the Ring. This was a re-read inspired by meeting Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd at Comic-Con :)

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Ooh! How lucky to have met them! I love seeing clips of them online - they always seem like they are having the best time together. I was given tickets to the LOTR musical for my birthday - the show is still a couple of months away, so I‘ve decided to reread the books - I‘ve just left Tom Bombadil and am heading towards the prancing pony. 4mo
rabbitprincess @thegirlwiththelibrarybag They are so fun! Elijah Wood and Sean Astin were there too and did a special panel. I got a pic with Dominic and Billy, and Billy‘s autograph on my copy of Macbeth 😍 The musical sounds fab—have an awesome time! 4mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @rabbitprincess, sounds like a LOTR film fans dream to see them all on a panel. I‘m looking forward to the musical - it‘s either going to be the best thing ever or something that never gets bought up in conversation again ☺️ 4mo

A #Roll100 wrap-up for 2024. I managed to read 15 of 36 picks, which is pretty good given that most of my reading time was monopolized by my master‘s degree. It‘s a part-time degree, so it will be taking up a fair chunk of 2025 as well, but I am looking forward to a clean slate of reading!
