Finished Game of Thrones (book 1 ASOIAF). Really, really good. Especially considering I already knew what happens, it still kept me on the edge of my seat. I could see it being a more difficult read had I not already been familiar with the characters and settings…but man I can't imagine what it would have been like to read it not knowing the ending.

On to Clash of Kings. This is a long one…I'll see you all on the other side. Winter is coming.

Read in 2024:

The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
Fairy Tale - Stephen King
The Shining - SK
A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara
Game of Thrones - GRRM

Up next:
A Clash of Kings - GRRM

I got on an Asimov kick this year reading the 3 Robot books and just about finishing up the 6 Foundation books.

Also read 2 books by DJ Molles (Terminus and Sanctuary) in the Lee Harden series. I've been reading that series a while and always enjoy them. It's a Zombie/post apocalyptic series, but less about the zombie stuff overall now and more of survivors now. Fast, easy reads if you are into that genre.

I think I'm starting the Hyperion series next, always have wanted to dig into that one.

Just finished "Holly" by King, not a fan. The political interjections were way over the top.

All off his books now show his obsession with Trump, oh look the hero has to stop a political demagogue with his ESP powers so he won't destroy the world. Go back to writing child orgies moran.

There are only two authors I have found whose outside opinions bleed enough into their work that I cannot stomach the books anymore. RF Kuang and King. Oh how the king has fallen.

I'm a huge SK fan (for the most part) and have never heard of that series, I'll have to add it to the queue.
