Say one thing about Logan Ninefingers, say they have a great taste in books.
Nice to you in one of these threads again! Where have you been missing?
Hilarious! Good to see you again! I should have taken note of the poster as It Seems I like to comment on your stuff.
I have been reading a ton but took a bit of a break ( as much as I could) from social media around the holidays. The problem is I have also gone down quite a rabbit hole on Lego now ( and Alternate bricks) which roped me back into Lemmy a bit.
My kids have started playing with my old stuff from when I was a kid and it has reintroduced me into the world and all the sets.
Have you read The Expanse? I've been enjoying it, although not quite as much as Red Rising. But either way, I do like a good Space Opera
Well, I am a mod here, and unless something comes up, do these threads pretty much every week, you should take a peek and share you reading adventures.
Break from Social media is good, I wasn't around here most of the December, just got back to lemmy in January. Other than that, I don't really use any other social media app, so not a big issue for me.
Lego sounds fun, but unfortunately my kids aren't much into it, I would buy them some set and they will sit with me excitedly, but start getting bored in 10 mins and leave to do something else.
No, I haven't read The Expanse yet, but it's on my wish list. Last year I bought over 100 books, but read only around 30 something, so trying to go through some of the backlog and reduce the amount of books I buy each month. Though, I don't have much sci-fi series atm, so will probably end up getting it sometime soon.
Being a mod.... Well that makes sense!
I said social media but I probably should've just said "phone" haha.
Right now, not including the expanse 4-9, I'm sitting at 29 books I need to get through (they were all from the holidays pretty much + about a half dozen I just bought anyway).
The Expanse has been good so far. I'm only part way through book two but in both cases, first 150-200 pages are building but you get a good payout after that. I've been told that while the story spans the whole 9 books, there's a nice wrap up-ish after book 3. I'd say it's worth checking out if you need some sci-fi to break it up.
Lego, Lego retired sets and alternative bricks have been a lot of my reading time as my kids all like doing it now. Although, my youngest sounds like your kids.
I'll a point of checking in more - I'm not great for posting on lemmy but I am trying to comment more to help the traffic / community :)
