I almost forgot the weekly thread again, so just putting it up, will post my updates later.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    It depends on your preferences. I tend not to read a lot of Horror because it as a genre is something I don’t vibe with, but I have read a few because the writing or storytelling were solid. Hollow Places was like that for me.

    If you tend to vibe more with Fantasy, give Paladin’s Grace a try. (Unless a romance aspect will turn you off). Alternatively, A Wizards Guide to Baking is enjoyable and shorter.

      I like horror but definitely prefer fantasy. I’ll have to give her another shot but I was really disappointed with Hollow Places.

          I kinda just found it rather vapid overall. It was strange for the sake of being strange. It didn’t have enough good aspects to make up for the parts I didn’t like overall. I ended up giving it a 1.25/5. I think overall that “cosmic horror” might just not be for me.
