Zone 6 BIA Silver Bullets BlockO
I recently read Fort Bragg Cartel, by Seth Harp. It's pretty much non-stop fukkery with that place in Fayetteville as the central node for it all. It's kind of (more than) crazy what they've been gettin' away with & sweeping ova the rug over there. But, you could just take one look at most of them special ops mfs & see sum'n ain't right. Smh, blowin' down on ya unarmed best friend is wild though. The narrative structure gets a lil chaotic at times but it's worth the read.

I haven't even started the series yet. I got the first three books so I'm definitely going to hop in soon

:ohlawd: You’re in for a treat

Hadrian the melodramatic GOAT

I will say, the first book can be a bit of a slog but it really just sets things up for the rest of the series

Recently had a friend ranting to me about Deadhouse Gates and i remembered you saying you was tapping in

My nikka Coltaine crushed the fukking buildings in that book on some Pac shyt, dropped bars on everyone, they couldn't do nothing with him

Why you ain't tell me Malazan got a sequel :mjcry:

Book 1 out and book 2 coming this year :wow:

Might have to jump back in when that drops
Im still holding out but i seen it's actually gonna be a quartet instead of a trilogy :banderas:i didn't even clock that it's called Tales of Witness




the OG Karsa Orlong is only going to show up in the final book :damn: i forgot about that Green Mile looking nikka




Brehs entire character was based around people witnessing him be unstoppable :wow: if no one is there to watch he just goes and kidnaps a nikka or moves his opp closer to bystanders, what a beast, refuses to go unnoticed, told nikkas to inform their god that he'll be ending slavery and aint shyt they can do to stop him :ohlawd:


If this shyt ends with him doing something unwitnessed :mindblown:

My girl got me into Junji Ito work, I love her even more for that.
:wow:
She also picked up Animal farm and 1984 for me, it's funny that I never read any of those before — even in high school.
:ehh:

I'm trying to get back into reading. I used to read 30-40 books in school, but the last few years, it's been barely nothing.

All I've read (to completion) this year was the new Hunger Games book.

I'm in the middle of reading this jawn and it's good :ehh:

His Frankenstein adaptation is really good. Tomie, too. I have Uzumaki that I need to get through.

I really didn't read in high school. I think I just fell into my peer group so the focus was on girls and rap lol

The Anomaly


Pretty interesting. It's the kind of story with multiple genres woven into it and I think it works. May be a bit too current in some ways...

This week I finished Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson & Silent Night, Deadly Night by Armando Munoz.

Oathbringer was fun but the first 500 pages could've been shorten.

Silent Night Deadly Night was a good novelization (I haven't seen the movie it is based on) but I felt the author got a little pervy in some sections that literally made me go :scusthov:
