Now that 2025 is ending what has been your favorite book you've read in the last year?

Mine is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (audiobook is the way to go!)

Lesser known: Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. Satire Horror. It was a fun ride.

All Sinners Bleed (mystery noir) by S.A. Cosby and My Friends by Frederik Backman are also my notable mentions

I read (listened to) the first 6 books of Dungeon Crawler Carl. The whole series is fantastic. Best enjoyed via audio book because the narrator does a great job with the voices.

I also got around to reading The Shining by Stephen King. Definitely worth the read!

Happy New Year!

I wanted a place to talk about them, so I just made !dcc@piefed.world in case you’re interested.

I'm reading Dungeon Crawler Carl at the moment and it's great and completely bonkers! Just started book 4 today.

A good narrator is priceless!

I can definitely recommend the recent sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. The movie adaptation is not bad, but as in most cases the book is better. What's interesting is that the book version of Doctor Sleep is a sequel to the book version of The Shining, while the movie follows up the 1980 Kubrick film.
