I read mostly nonfiction. But never too old to try something new.

kevensutton.bsky.social•49 days ago

If you're enjoying the LITRPG elements of DCC, you may like "He who fights with monsters". It's an 11 book series, so there's plenty of content.

alyalyoops.bsky.social•49 days ago

I've heard really good things about it!!

kevensutton.bsky.social•49 days ago

I definitely enjoyed it.

For a more traditional Fantasy with those LITRPG elements you might also check out "The Good Guys" series, "The Bad Guys" series, and "The Grim Guys" series.

They are much more of what I call pulpy fantasy, and are all in the same world.

I’m mistakenly reading a dystopian book. Every page I’m like, “Is this thing about us?”

alyalyoops.bsky.social•49 days ago

Honestly yeah. Some of the references they make in DCC are like oh 🥳 we are already in hell

kenziekooima.bsky.social•49 days ago

I need someone to fix this timeline

bookwyrmsbookshelf.bsky.social•49 days ago

I’ve been reading The Seventh Bride by T. Kingfisher! Fantasy is my bread and butter ☺️

alyalyoops.bsky.social•49 days ago

I haven't read much Kingfisher yet, but this past year I plowed through What Moves the Dead and What Feasts at Night and adored them (and I'm not even a horror person)!!

bookwyrmsbookshelf.bsky.social•49 days ago

I’ve been working through her backlog, and I adore her stories! So far, my favorite is “A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking”

the-bookishmun.bsky.social•49 days ago

That book is short but amazing! t Kingfisher is one of my favourite authors

bookwyrmsbookshelf.bsky.social•49 days ago

Same! I’m catching up on her backlog 🥰

rowema.bsky.social•48 days ago

I’m halfway through What Moves the Dead, haven’t read anything else by them but it’s got me interested.

bookwyrmsbookshelf.bsky.social•48 days ago

Oh I really liked that one! I still need to read the sequel tho

samg92.bsky.social•49 days ago

I picked up The Sword of Shannara and I’ve also been picking my way through Children of Time! Have you read those?

alyalyoops.bsky.social•49 days ago

I haven't but I've heard such good things!

lexareadsalatte.bsky.social•49 days ago

I'm reading Bedlam Stacks by Natasha Pulley! and welcome!

candicezee.bsky.social•49 days ago

Hi, I'm the author of an award-winning YA dark fantasy series called The Munchkins. It's about 13 adopted kids with missing identities, who don't age, and develop magic powers, and their evil next door neighbor who's out to get them all. https://Munchkinsbooks.com

candicezee.bsky.social•49 days ago

Also here's a good Booksky starter pack: https://go.bsky.app/UiEAy5B

aplpaca.bsky.social•48 days ago

Reading The Reformatory by Tananarive Due via audiobook and Fiorenzo by Sebastian Nothwell in physical format

archbladecahouse.bsky.social•49 days ago

If you like indie Scifi/Fantasy with romance, adventure, sword/sorcery, necromancers/monsters, reluctant hero MMC, genius-level FMC, blend of science/magic, and an epic battle of good vs. evil, you'll enjoy my book:

starshipcaptain66.bsky.social•49 days ago

I am reading The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again.

It's a kind of new weird set in modern London.

elanorlandrie.bsky.social•49 days ago

Welcome! #BookSky is kind of like the #BookTok equivalent here on BlueSky (just in case anyone here doesn't know). Lots of BookTok refugees gonna set up shop there I'm guessing!

the-bookishmun.bsky.social•49 days ago

Fantasy has always been my favourite, reading Sea of Rust which is sort of Sci fi fantasy and really good so far

meadowmorrigan.bsky.social•49 days ago

I love fantasy 🤗 but I’m currently reading some questionable things

alyalyoops.bsky.social•49 days ago

We like questionable in this house

meadowmorrigan.bsky.social•49 days ago

Alright, it’s not fantasy, but a “romance” between a girl and her apartment front door.

Im only reading as a palette cleanser cause I’m going to reread forth wing and iron flame next

alyalyoops.bsky.social•49 days ago

I've heard of that one omg. I can't remember, is it a Chuck tingle book or no?

meadowmorrigan.bsky.social•49 days ago

It’s called Unhinged by Vera Valentine , I’ve been laughing for the past 6 chapters. Very questionable and very “wtf did I just read”

itswawa2you.bsky.social•49 days ago

To tag on a couple more LitRPGs: Ten Realms, Defiance of the Fall and Primal Hunter

I’ve also been reading classic sci-fi lately like the Dune series and Hitchhikers Guide

alyalyoops.bsky.social•49 days ago

I've wanted to climb into Dune but it's very intimidating.

I am very new to the litrpg genre, but enjoying it so far. Do you know much about Solo Leveling? My partner recommended it as the same genre.

itswawa2you.bsky.social•49 days ago

The only Solo Leveling I’m familiar is the manhwa (Korean manga). If that is what you’re talking about then it is great, I finished the story in a weekend. If that’s not it then no idea.

Dune can be intimidating as hell but I’m powering through.

On book 3 of Dungeon Crawler Carl. So entertaining!

alyalyoops.bsky.social•49 days ago

Oh just wait. Book 3 onward is just gasoline on the fire.

megantraverso.bsky.social•49 days ago

Ooh can’t wait!
