Hmm, no, I have been alternating a bit between different series and different books. I'm not really a "binger" anymore, I kinda prefer to let books "settle" a bit before I go on to the next one I think. I might continue with the 3rd right after, or there is something else I'd rather read first, who knows. It is only a matter of what I feel like reading then and there.

With TV shows I am a big fan of the weekly episodes that many people seem to despise. I love the anticipation and community discussions in the weeks between episodes.

I get not wanting to start ASoIaF, I probably wouldn't too considering I doubt he will ever finish it, although I think the publisher will probably get someone else to finish it at some point. For me it was kinda a nostalgia thing, as I read them way back and was curious how they would hold up now.

Just finished re-reading A Clash of Kings by G.R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire 2). It's a very cool book, but I didn't find it quite as consistently gripping as the first one. The first just has such incredible pacing imo.

Next one up is Caliban's War by James Corey (The Expanse 2). I have seen the TV show, and really liked the first book as well.

I finished the three Dunk and Egg novels by G.R.R Martin. Overall I found them pretty good, but I was not as impressed as many other seem to be. Some nice little tales, but after re-reading A Game of Thrones recently I had kinda hoped for more. I did like the third book, The Myster Knight, a lot more though, so it did seem to ramp up a bit, and it is a shame he stopped writing them.

Currently finishing up Leviathan Wakes by James Corey (The Expanse #1). Great book, watched the show many years ago and really liked that too, but thankfully there is a lot of the plot I don't remember anymore.

Afterwards I'll continue reading the next Expanse book, or maybe continue my A song of ice and fire re-read with A Clash of Kings, not quite sure yet. I am not really a binger, prefer to spread them out a bit. Also wanted to check out the Mistborn series by Brandon Sandersson, but maybe I'll wait a bit before I start.

I watched the show and enjoyed it all the way through, never really got the complaints that it starts slow, but idk maybe I just started watching at the right time. Currently finishing up the first book now and it's great too!

Low key should have been offside? it was like two deflections but he was in offside position from the pass? idk though weird situation

In season 7 not a whole lot happens. Mostly because it doesn't exist haha. I enjoyed it the whole way through, but I do think the first 3 seasons were the best. Once they went to the new planet and stuff it kinda lost focus. No idea how it relates to the books, but I'm pretty sure they didn't adapt all the books.

I watched the Expanse, and have considered reading the books as well. Did you watch the show before reading?

Finished Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. I enjoyed it a lot, but kinda feel like it stumbled a bit towards the end. Maybe it was the rapid changes in POV, or maybe because it suddenly added new POVs in the ending chapters? There is also a lot of unresolved stuff, as it sets up sequels that don't exist yet. Was still a very enjoyable book though. It was my first Sanderson, and I'll be checking out some more of his stuff soon. Maybe Mistborn? Taking recommendations on where to go next!

I also finished The Hedge Knight by G.R.R. Martin. Picked it up because of the new HBO show, Preston Jacobs spoke so warmly of the book in his review of the show, and I was so impressed when re-reading A Game of Thrones recently. I was not quite as impressed though, a nice little short story, but I didn't get that invested. There are just so many names presented in a very short story, and I found I had to backtrack quite a bit to keep track of who these people were. I have the collection of the 3 first Dunk and Egg stories and will keep going through them though.

What a goal

Decent strike
