Books!

[Laufey]

Omg, the envy! And that's Bride's Story back there, right? I only have the three first volumes

Spoiler: show

Totally on topic cosplay bragging here! Me and bf back in 2013

HhhhhOW DID YOU RECOGNIZE IT BY THE TOPS OF THE BOOKS ONLY? Anyway yes that's Otoyomegatari/Bride's Story! Btw your cosplays are amazing and made of gold, Laufey seal of approval all the way.

And while I was there I picked up a Terry Pratchet book, Raising Steam, and a random book that looked cool and seems to involve some necromancy and stuff in a fantasy world? idk, haven't read it yet.

Ooh, enjoy the Pratchett! (I can't remember, have you read his others? Raising Steam is one that benefits from having read some earlier books, if I remember correctly).

Also, I'm curious to know what the random book that looked cool and seems to involve necromancy. (If it's The Death of the Necromancer by Martha Wells you're in for a treat.)

I'm always curious about cool books that involve necromancy.

Oooh yes, do look it up! And honestly, you could add "anything at all by Martha Wells" to your list, because I love her writing but it seems like a lot of people haven't heard of her. If you end up enjoying The Death of the Necromancer, her Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy that comes after it is also brilliant.

I almost bought a volume of Vinland Saga on Monday - there was a stocktake sale at a local bookstore and it was going out cheap. But... my funds were limited and I decided to buy some other stuff rather than jump into a series halfway through.

Good call. Best to start from the start. ;p Maybe the library will have it?

I do like Vinland saga, although I read it online. _{you can buy comics in paperform?} There's always the online option Tr

Not much of a book reader but I got myself Bioshock: Rapture by John Shirley, it's really good but it helps if you know the story of the game it's based on. The book is about when they built the underwater city 'Rapture' till the chaos we know started.

I found an online version and OHMYGOSH IT IS AWESOME

Mrrrh, forgot to look this up at the library! Next time!

Did someone say Vinland Saga because I'm almost sure someone said Vinland Saga!

A manga about vikings, why have I heard of this sooner ? *drools*

Also, I thought for some reason for a moment that this was a picture taken at a book store and it didn't register that this was your personal book shelf so I was very confused when I saw the SSSS book to the left there . .

[Athena]

AHHH VINLAND SAGA IS SO GOOD. And totally warreants the capslock. You won't regret choosing that one, I think.
...and this reminds me that I am way behind on it, I really should fix that. *_*

No regrets here! I LOVE IT! I stayed up until about 2 last night and now I'm halfway through the first volume!

Ooh can I just come to your house and steal read all of them...

I haven't read much Pratchett, but I did see the movie for Going Postal, and Raising Steam seems to be a sequel to that? it has the same characters and seems like a continuation of story.

The random book that looked cool is called Shadow Magic (which sounds like a kinda uninventive name?) But it looks interesting.

OH! I think I may have read about half of that book once, but then my mom was forced to drag me out of the bookstore. I did like the part I read, though.

Raising Steam is actually the second sequel to Going Postal. The one in between is Making Money. And of course all three tie into the rest of the Discworld novels - particularly the City Watch ones.

There are actually some pretty good reading guides for the series out there, such as this one...



It's actually a few years out of date. Off the top of my head add Snuff after Where's My Cow?, Raising Steam after Making Money and I Shall Wear Midnight after Wintersmith.

Wow, that's about as complex as expected but still! Thanks, I should probably get that book before I dive into Raising Steam, I prefer to read things in the correct order.

I've been doing it all wrong! D:

Nttt, that's not possible. The first Pratchett I've read was a short novel with the witches. I've began with the two first Discworld, and then I was taking the books my library had or which had my preference (So the ones with the witches, and/or the Death if possible ^^)
