It was a really interesting dive into this particular moment in history, what caused the revolution, how people reacted, and ultimately why it failed. I'm really glad I read it! Check it out if you like mid-20th century history! amazon.com/dp/030727795X/

I first heard about this when reading "The Berlin Wall" earlier this year. The failed Hungarian Revolution was a backdrop for what was going on there, and so I wanted to know more! Unfortunately there aren't a ton of books about it, but I found this one!

Okay! I've been in a bit of a reading slump recently. I've had my first couple of DNFs of the year, but I _finally_ found something I was excited to read! "Twelve Days", the story of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution!

The pretty girl way out of my league _insisted_ on being my friend, despite my best efforts to scare her away. So...I'm not saying it's not wish fulfillment escapism, but it happened at least once 🤣

I've been watching "I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class", and a part of me wanted to say, "Oh, how unrealistic that this pretty girl just asserts herself as his friend." Which, fair, but at the same time...that's literally how I met my wife.

There's a HUGE Audible sale going on! o.o You can grab my books for less than $3! 🤯 Time-Marked Warlock and Knightmare Arcanist are both award-winning fantasy novels with AMAZING narrators!

I'm sure the book must explain at some point why that's not an option (or maybe Andy Weir assumes that the reader will be smart enough to know that destroying a planet almost the size of earth isn't practical), but it's still where _my_ mind would go!

Which brings me to my proposed solution...blow up Venus. Which I'm sure would be difficult, but I feel like we could accomplish it with Astrophage as a power source, thirty years, and the life of all of humanity at stake!

Just saw Project Hail Mary and I liked it a lot! I haven't read the book yet, though I plan to! But one question came to mind...they say that every star around Earth is dimming except one...do all stars have a Venus like planet in their orbit?

I wouldn't call this series really "Low stakes", but compared to the other series it definitely feels lower stakes. We also got things like The Kirin Village fleshed out a little bit more, and got to see where some characters from the previous series ended up!

Forgot to post when I finished book 2, but I just finished up "The Crown Tournament" series (AKA "The Kirin Arcanist" series) by @GameOverStation. I had a lot of fun with it!

@GameOverStation f2b85691f3b3759126f3a665d985a6b021ad6b57 Now just to hope that someone's able to reverse and SHA1 hash, not just create a collision, and read the pitch...

It's a lot of fun so far! :) So far it seems like the frith chronicles isn't required reading for this side story, so if you're looking to jump in from a different starting point, this may be the place! amazon.com/gp/product/B0C…

The elevator pitch for this series has been "Pokemon meets Harry Potter", and this series feels like it's leaning into the gym battles/pokemon league arcs of the Pokemon series. More formalized rules, lots of traveling, you're allowed to fail a few times and still advance!

Just finished "The Crown Tournament" by @GameOverStation and Ryan Tang, and I had a lot of fun with it! Definitely interesting to see a Kirin arcanist as the main character, after they mostly held villain or former villain roles in The Frith Chronicles!
