Ending was expected, but I guess if you have such a long running series, pretty much ending will always be expected. Bad guy meets Reacher, bad guy loses, Reacher wins. Fun to read though, which is the main point. Going to keep reading them.

Don't think it ticked any of the Bingo boxes though.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I feel like I’ve responded with this series several times already, but I’m not the faster reader.

Still listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. I’m on book 7, The Inevitable Ruin. I’ve listened all the way through twice. And I’ve heard the first couple a few more. A friend started the series recently so I started over to listen with her. I don’t mind at all. I really do love these books.

After this, I plan to finish the Red Rising series. I haven’t read the latest book in that yet. I’d also like to listen to the new series by James SA Corey. The Expanse series is probably my favorite of all time.

Is Dungeon Crawler Carl good? I wanted to find a light funny fantasy book and was deciding between that and Goblin Quest and decided to try the GQ first.

I am a big fan of Dungeon Crawler Carl, especially the audiobook. If you aren’t used to listening to books or you had trouble in the past, this is a perfect book to try it again.

It’s not going to be the best book you’ve ever read, but I promise promise promise you will never get bored. I found myself laughing out loud in my car a few times, and I teared up once.

The narrator, however, is the best I’ve ever heard and it’s not even close. I was absolutely blown away. This man could be doing very well for himself in cartoons and video games. You’ll feel like listening to a cartoon, which is why I say it’s an easy book to try on audio.

If you do listen, let me know what you think! If you get to the later books, I’m always looking for someone to discuss theories with!

I haven’t heard of GQ, but I see on Goodreads, I see a friend of mine gave it 5 stars. (He rated DCC at a 4, for what it’s worth). How do you like it so far?

It starts out pretty light too, and I like how there’s some good deepening of the commentary of the society too.
