One of the reasons I've not started reading Sanderson is all the books look like solid squirrel killers. At some point I might try. I've got an insane TBR for December/January. I've got one of my plans for 2025 in place, which is reading a book from each year I've been alive. So, from 1971 to 2025. I've got four series I need to finish - 3 SF+F ones and 1 Lit Fic. Other than that I'm still sorting my reading plans out.
Squirrel killers!!! Hahaha That’s such a cool project! I’ll look forward to seeing what book gets picked for each year. It’s so hard to work in these books. You basically have to resign yourself to letting everything else go during that time, which does not help motivation or goal setting. Eventually though, it’ll be worth the “sacrifice.”
This is a great idea. I like to read some middle grade books thru the year so I think I’ll try doing this with Newbery Winners. Mine would be 1961-2025.
I have Monstrous Nights pending from the library, but working on finishing a couple other things first. I am going to work on rereading Stormlight next year.
I'm waiting until I have a few months with nothing to do before I read Stormlight Archive. Haha. Good luck getting around to Speaking Bones. There is so much detail, it is definitely worth making the time to get to it before you start forgetting too much about the previous books.
Haha it’s not looking too good! I want you to read it so much that I considered starting a weekly Stormlight book club and reading from the beginning with you. But I think going that slow would wreck some of the more amazing momentum moments. Also thank you, I’m eager to get to it. I’m only 20% through Wind and Truth after two weeks, so I’m thinking by March haha.
I'm really impressed with your restraint on the audible sale. I had about 60 I was considering, and I talked myself down to 9. Most of those were books in series that I knew I would buy eventually anyway, so this saved me a credit. (3 were Mercy Thompson books, because I love the audio so much I rarely ever read them with my eyeballs.) I have so much Wind and Truth FOMO right now. Nevermind that it's my own damn fault I've only read half of Way of Kings so far.... 😂
Haha, well at least we know what habits to blame for the problem! I feel the same way with every release I’m not ready for (most of them). Thank you! Hey you only ended up with 9 - that’s even more impressive! I almost almost bought some for series continuations. But I had to get real with myself that I probably wouldn’t get around to them for a while and by then my library may have purchased them.
Long Winded and Truth, you mean! 😂 I bailed half way through book 4, just got bored. So I will not be jumping on the hype train with this one. Bah humbug!
Attention Span sounds like a disappointing read, i liked Dopamine Nation by Anna Lempke (not sure I spelled that right), Sugar Less sounds like one I'll get as ive been working on earing better but sugar has remained a real sticking point for me. So bad that I'm considering going completely cold turkey and cutting it out completely. I've heard good things about Emily Henry's books, i think thatll make a good Christmas present for a family member of mine and probably get Speaking Bones for myself while I'm at it too 👍
Nice!! It’s great to treat yourself to some books this season. I always do better with sugar when I go the cold turkey route. If I do just a little here and there I end up in the withdrawal phase much longer than necessary. I’d rather suffer for a week and then feel better from then on. It helped to have alternative “treats” on hand to get through the cravings. I make a sugarless “muffin pie” with oats and then a blueberry yogurt cereal. Dopamine Nation is on my list - I’ll bump it up the priority a bit!
@TheObsessiveBookseller I've always struggled with sugar since my teens as I would emotionally eat for anxiety and it's stayed my Achilles heel. I'll probably go cold turkey once Christmas is out of the way and stick with it for at least a few months. I've done pretty well the past couple of months resisting the temptation to keep buying books apart from non-fiction I haven't bought a novel and have worked on reading some of my existing unreads. I managed to get through the audible sales recently with no new purchases either, mostly by ignoring all the emails notices and not going browsing. It's certainly reduced my unread pile a wee bit.

Oh awesome! I’ll be curious to hear how you like Monstrous Nights. And yay for a Stormlight reread!
I'm also reading Wind and Truth in my Buddy Reads group.
I remember! I’m not very far along (10 chapters or so), but so far it’s so good.

@@TheObsessiveBookseller If you ever decide to do a reread of SA from the beginning, I'm down!
The Sugar Less book sounds very interesting.
It was a good resource!

Haha oooh burn. So far the initial ten chapters have been mic drops. Just sayin.
