  • Yeah… pretty much every series i read i look forward to the next one.

    Kevin Hearne is a good one I buy everything he does. Iron Druid (Urban Fantasy), Ink & Sigil (Iron Druid Spinnoff/continuation), Kill the Farm Boy (High Fantasy Parody). All great stuff. Also went to 2 of his book signings.

    I buy every new Hollows book (Urban Fantasy and somewhat post apocalyptic) from Kim Harrison, every new Schooled in Magic and all Nameless World spin offs (Isekai magic school and story well past graduation) from Christopher G. Nutall. All Black Ocean(sci fi space western) books by J.S. Morin. Whatever book J.N. Chaney is writing as well (Sci fi space operas). I also wait for a bunch of litrpgs next books. He Who Fights With Monsters by Shirtaloon, Judicator Jane (new one just came out!) from Brian Rouleau, System Universe by SunriseCV… And I’m constantly discovering new authors to get excited about.



  • Very ADHD reader here, but reading:

    When the Moon Hatched - Sarah A Parker - High fantasy where magical people have to register and be used by the government similar to FF16, except the Moon is a dragon egg (like FF14)… Actually wondering if Sarah A Parker is a Final Fantasy Fan…

    He Who Fights With Monsters 12 - Shirtaloon (Travis Deverall) - My favorite LitRRPg series. Jason Asano is now basically a god, yet manages to stay grounded the best he can. He’s having to deal with the fact that people treat him differently now because of his power level, and learning diplomacy and all that.

    How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin Days - Megan O’Russell - This is a fun YA urban fantasy. I actually bought a few books from the author herself at Thy Geekdom Con in Philadelphia a few months back.

    And my fall asleep Audiobook of the Moment: The Echo of Old Books - Barbara Davis - I mainly only read fantasy and sci-fi and this could barely be called fantasy. It’s mainly a historical romance told from the perspective of someone who happens to have a little bit of magic… its almost like the modern day story is irrelevant… anyway I picked it up as a Kindle first read and the audiobook was in turn $2 so I’ve got my money’s worth.





  • I used to read physical books all the time when I was younger, but as I aged and audiobooks became downloads instead of massive multiple disc CD sets, I shifted. Isn’t because I can’t read anymore, and my eyes havent failed me yet that I need reading glasses, but I just like doing OTHER THINGS while reading. Plus I extra love when voice actors make it a PERFORMANCE. In ye old days it used to be just a narrator reading the words, often tonelessly, but Audible books these days are PERFORMANCES. I like popping on an audio book while im driving, while im in bed trying to fall asleep, and while im playing a grindy part in a video game. Or a video game that doesn’t have voice acting so I can enjoy 2 stories simultaneously, or Roguelike video games where there’s no story at all, or story beats only occur when you’re at your home base.
