Curious to see what the Lemmings are reading this year.
I’ll say my favorite this year was “The People of the Deer” by Farley Mowat, a novelization of the authors time spent in the Canadian North.
An incredible read with some wonderful prose.

Red rising, it’s been so long since I read a book like ender’s game but I do always enjoy the story of youth in a violent world coming to terms with the society they live in, but this one had so much more than I was expecting.
I was worried it was going to be some pale imitation of ender’s game but instead it was an entirely new story that ended up providing a more brutal look into the viscera of a sick society.
Honorable mention: Logan’s run which I finally read a couple days ago. Brief but wildly exciting.
You know I have this book sitting on my shelf for a few months but haven’t gotten around to it yet. I heard good things about it, but I just kinda forgot about it
You’ll dig it. I had to read the first three books in a row after the first one captured me.
Red Rising had some excellent world building and I really enjoyed the early books. The further along it went, the less I enjoyed, but that may be me. I found myself lost a few times and Brown keeps on chugging.
The further along you went just in that book, or in the series?
That is interesting, I was pretty captivated the whole time and read it in a few days basically when I had any free time, but two of those times were walking around drunk during back to back snow storms listening to the audiobook, so if a particular scene was slow I may have missed that hahaha.
In the series. I hit a struggle after the first half of book 3 and 5 was a slog for me.
The first two books are thrilling!
Oh okay. I stopped at four. The first trilogy was pretty satisfying for me and I don’t think 6 was out yet, so I’m taking a break from then for now
