He upped the ante with this book and it felt almost like The Empire Stikes Back with its ending and it put a lot of pieces in place for something big in the third book.

how do you manage your reading time? You seem pretty focusedI read 40-50 books a year but even at that number I still feel like I don't read them efficiently enough. Is reading your main source of entertainment?

I try to prioritizing reading at work when I have downtime instead of fukking around on IG, reddit, or here. I've been off most of this month so I try to read when I wake up and before bed. Also it's be in the 30s and 20s here so sometimes I'll just kick back on the couch in the afternoon and read for a bit. The woman I'm talking to is also a big reader (she did a year long Cosmere re-read leading up to the release of Wind and Truth and does two book clubs each month) so that helps with motivation

Yup started with Elantris since that was Brandon Sanderson's first Cosmere related book and then the Mistborn books, the novellas, the secret projects books, the white sands graphic novel, and of course the Stormlight books. I think she followed a reading order

the person who recommended this made the story sound hilarious so I had to cop it
Basically, it's a world where cacs in America drowned themselves and a the main character is a Black man who goes on a road trip with his biracial kid he didn't know he had

Grabbed some easy reads off of Google Play Books for $1.99-$4.99 to try and hit my goal quicker. Thought they'd be quick & fast but entertaining reads but that ended up being debatable (by my own standards at least).
Book 11
They need to reign some of these "thriller" writers in cuz I don't know wtf this was supposed to be. The suspense just wasn't there. There was no societal commentary on anything to make up for it fr. And the "twist" at the end was some grade A bull. And at damn near 400 pages, it was meandering like a mf smh.
Book 12
There's a good book in here somewhere....I'm just not sure where. Again, 300-400 pages, slow building only to rush in sum shyt the last 20-30 pages. This one at least had better characters and plot, and some interesting things with grief/obsession and whatnot but I'm not sure what that ending was.
Some of these mfs got way too high of an output to be doing quality control and just wanna "Gone Girl", "Behind Her Eyes" or "Girl On The Train" everybody to death but in a much more boring/uninteresting way.
Anyways, goal for the yr reached. Now I can get back to the hear (hopefully) that's in my queue.

"The Cipher" by Kathe Koja.
It's a horror novel from 1991. I don't know about you guys but when I was a kid I'd be in places like Ventures or K-Mart and check out the cover of horror novels. Some of them had cool art.
Anyway, this one caught my eye back in the day so I decided to read it now. It's pretty cool so far.
