It’s been years, and well over 100 books, since I was in the Cosmere. But my D100 roll brought me back and I am about 1/5 of the way through The Well of Ascension. I can’t believe how much I missed Sanderson’s writing. I will effortlessly get through this in 2-3 days.

Le Guin’s The Word for World is Forrest was fine. Very Straightforward. Rolled a 76. Now after YEARS of delay, I am finally diving into the second Mistborn novel. I can’t wait

Vonnegut’s The Sirens of Titan was such a clever adventure! Too short by half! Loved! Rolled a 55 with brings me to my first Redwall book. Exciting!

Absolutely LOVED The Shadow of the Wind by Zafon. On to the next. Rolled for SOTW. So I pick next. This one has been staring at me a long time.

Tender is the Flesh was incredible. Horrifying and sad and I could not put it down! D100 roll leads me to @madelinemiller.bsky.social ‘s The Song of Achilles. Can’t wait!

Finished Silverlock. Started out so strong but kind of fizzled. Next choice…Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica. This should be interesting.

Ok. I am up to date so my posts will only come as quickly as I can read. My last roll, and my current read, is Silverlock by John Myers Myers. I hear great things!

Another choice, another classic sci-fi…The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin. What a great read and the sexual politics and ideas were so ahead of their time and refreshingly relevant today. Can’t wait for more Le Guin.

Dan Simmon’s Hyperion is one of my absolute favorite books of all time. So, I was excited when the d100 landed on Children of the Night. Sigh…I never got into it, though a cool biological basis of vampirism was fun.

JTTCOTE was meh, so I chose another Sci-Fi classic…Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End. Loved it, even though it didnt quite stick the landing.

#D100Books
My next roll led me to a classic, and my first Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the Earth. The story painted a great picture in my mind’s eye, but it felt like this happened, then this, then this. No great flow or storytelling. Disappointing

It was time to choose my next one, and what a delightfully odd choice it was. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Light, whimsical, weird, and just so clever and original!

Loved my roll, so I rolled again. Landed on Ender’s Game. Where has this been all my life? Amazing! I’m rifling through these posts today. I will be up to date in a few more.

#D100Books
And we are in to 2025, so I chose my first Arthur C Clarke, The Sentinel. Not a great story collection but a couple were worthwhile. A couple more posts and I’ll hit a banger ACC.

Next was a D100 roll and it landed on Arm of the Sphinx by Josiah Bancroft. I read Senlin Ascends almost exactly 1 year ago and it was fine. Book 2 was superb and I was reinvigorated!

After a couple of brilliant chonkers, i needed a small snack, so I chose Heinlein’s Time For the Stars. Couple of brothers as human Ansibles? Yes please. Loving my Heinlein journey.

#D100Books
After being sad I have to wait a while for DCC book VIII, I rolled into my first Robin Hobb, The Assassin’s Apprentice. Loved it so much the other Farseer books were immediately on my xmas list. Haven’t cried at a book in quite a while until this one.
#Booksky
#D100Books
My next choice was a no brainer, in the day it was released, This Inevitable Ruin. Book 7 of @dungeoncrawlercarl.bsky.social
Do yourself a favor and start this series immediately. It is so incredibly fun!

#D100Books
Heading to a destination wedding, I rolled 3 times. Landed on Pratchett’s Wyrd Sisters (great), Sagan’s Contact (Near perfect), and Heinlein’s Starman Jones (Absolutely loved). Should have rolled a 4th as I breezed through these 3 effortlessly!
#Booksky
#D100Books
After a mediocre 4-book run, I chose something I had high hopes for…The Martian by Andy Weir. Wasn’t sure the narrative style would hold up, but I was NOT disappointed. Fantastic stuff!!

#D100Books
After Frankenstein, it was D100 time…and I landed on another Stephen King, Holly! Standard King fare, though I think Im over Holly Gibney. #Booksky
#D100Books
It was close to Halloween, so I chose Frankenstein. Won’t lie…I could NOT get into it. I’m always excited to delve into classics, but I was bored.

#D100Books
After a disappointing King jaunt, I rolled into my 3rd Heinlein, The Sixth Column. Perfectly fine, but not as enjoyable as Tunnel in the Sky.

#D100Books
After the choice of NOS4A2, it was time to roll the D100. It landed on #StephenKing Everything’s Eventual. Not his strongest collection, but the Dark Tower story was fantastic!
#booksky
#D100Books
After the glorious Red Rising, I chose my second #JoeHill book, NOS4A2. Very strange and very creepy. Again loaned out, so last stock photo until I catch up to my current read. #Booksky
#d100Books
After tackling Anna Karenina, I chose to dive into Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series. It is as fantastic as you’ve heard! This was loaned out and yet to be returned. I should start taking collateral!

After Horns, I rolled into Anna Karenina. Infinitely readable but so hard to enjoy. These people are incapable of happiness! #booksky #D100Books
