:whew: flames, nice follow up book to the suspense of the 3body problem series


If you haven't read Gravity's Rainbow or anything similar to it don't even attempt to read this book yet :ufdup: you'll go insane trying to follow the story

I need a place to order books online because my local library is trash.

Literally none of the books I've asked for they had.

A Message to the Black Man
The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Monster Kody's book
None of Prodigy's books

I wonder why :mjpls:



you ever check out:

New & Used Books from Thrift Books | Buy Cheap Books Online

Free shipping over $10 and that have 15% off right now. They had 20% 2 weeks ago and I racked up. A lot of used books for less than $4. Most of the ones I got in were is pretty good condition, maybe about 3 showed signs of a lot of wear and tear (out of about 20) and a few were brand new.

My last 3 books:

The 13 Hallows by M.Scott and C. Freedman.--1st Fantasy type of book Ive read and maybe thats why Im rating it so highly, but it made my top 10 list. 10/10

Field of Fire by M. Cameron.--Was meh. Spent to much time away from the main story. Had to push thru it. 6/10.

Children of Blood and Bone by T. Adeyemi.--Great book. Cant wait for the 2nd book and the movie. 9/10



Currently reading Patient Zero by J.Maberry. Zombie book. Good so far.

An update from my last post. I'm currently reading:
  • The secret teachings of all ages (Hall, 1928)
  • The swords of glass (Corgiat & Zuccheri, 2014)
  • Avengers vs. Thanos (Starlin, Friedrich, Englehart & Gerber, 2013)
  • Mexico: Architecture, Interiors, Design (Bradbury & Luscombe-Whyte, 2004)
  • The Creative Writing Student's Handbook (Hartigan & James, 2014)
  • Black Panther: The Ultimate Guide (Wiacek, 2018)
I've completed Ready Player One (Cline, 2011), which was a really fun book. Much more detailed than the movie. Conquistadors (Wood, 2000) was a good read, it gives you information on select Spanish figures' conquest or exploration of the South American continent (i.e. Hernan Cortes conquest of the Aztecs and Tenochtitlan). The author even goes into the countries and traces their paths, giving an insight on what both Natives and Conquistadors may have experienced/thought/felt at the time. Mythology (Dell, 2012) was another book I enjoyed reading. It contains brief descriptions of each concepts of Mythology (creations myths, supernatural realm, underworld, etc), with examples of various myths for around the world (Yoruba, Norse, Greek, etc) and lots of high quality pictures included in each page.

Here are the new books I've purchased:





I've actually finished reading Pluto (Urasawa, 2009). Good book based on the Astro Boy story (which I heard of but never watch or read the material). I've also finished Paper Girls, Vol. 4 (Vaughan & Chiang, 2018), which still has an air mystery and excitement to story. Much better than Vol. 3, which didn't feel like it was going somewhere.

So I finished “The Goldfinch” by Donna Tartt and it’s a Pulitzer Prize winner and it’s legit one of the worst books I’ve read :hhh:

Book is legit so boring and full of pretentious nonsense
