I'm going to get back into reading media tie-in and novelizations. That was my first joy in reading and reading through Friday the 13th books last October made me remember how much I liked that genre.

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

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

Going through Shea Serrano's latest 'Expensive Basketball'

I think somewhere during Reaper's Gale I'm just gonna restart from Gardens of the Moon. Aint finna pretend I can remember everything with a lore that dense.

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

Well what happened I know you aint finish it cuz you woulda been in here going crazy at some of those convergences




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

nikka had the local birds fly down and give him a hug just so they could say they touched a real nikka

Why you ain't tell me Malazan got a sequel

Book 1 out and book 2 coming this year

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 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 i forgot about that Green Mile looking nikka




Brehs entire character was based around people witnessing him be unstoppable 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


If this shyt ends with him doing something unwitnessed

My girl got me into Junji Ito work, I love her even more for that.

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.

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

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
