Books I Read and Other Assorted Oddities

 OK, as stated before, audiobooks will be rolled out of sequence of everything else. I just finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , so now I need to roll again for audiobooks. I used a D6 for the tens place, and a 10 sided for the ones place. I rolled 29 which corresponds on my sheet to The Women  by Kristin Hannah. That will be what I start for audio.

 I've read this book before when I was in junior high, and while I remember most of it, I read it before I started this blog. So, here I am, rereading it. Arthur Dent is a regular guy with an unremarkable life. He finds himself one morning, with bulldozers on his front lawn to knock his house down in order to construct a byway. As he's protesting this action by laying down in the mud in front of the truck, his friend Ford, shows up to take him to the pub. Ford tells Arthur that Earth is about to be destroyed and that he should drink as much alcohol as he can. They then hitchhike onto a Vogon destructor ship, and away their galactic adventure goes. This book is utterly absurd. I hadn't really picked up on that when I was in junior high - I always thought it was funny, but the absurdity was lost on my developing brain. I still very much enjoyed this book, and laughed at the ridiculous side notes from Adams as the narrator and the Hitchhiker's Guide .  The characters in th...

 I picked this one up with a bunch of others after the Secret Projects campaign, and it's been on my TBR forever. I read this as part of my Sanderson rotation spot. John finds himself in the middle of a forest, at night, with no knowledge of how he got there, who he is, or why he's there. He quickly finds himself over his head, fighting well-armed men with all kinds of physical augments that he doesn't have access to for some reason. The twist? John is in an alternate dimension of Medieval England. He's from the future, but somehow has to blend in with these people of the past. Can he stop the people from his own timeline who are trying to exploit it? I will say... This was not my favorite Sanderson. I didn't not like this book, but it wasn't my favorite. I love the witty title, and the main character was fine. The writing was pretty good as well. But unlike a lot of Brandon's other books, this book was too slow for me. First: the amnesia problem. I don'...

 OK, so since I finished Three Dark Crowns , I need to roll for another audiobook to listen to. I'm going to roll these out of sequence from my physical books because I treat audiobooks differently. I don't listen to audiobooks in sequence with the physical books. I usually listen to audio while driving or while cleaning, so I like to have one at least downloaded and started.  I rolled: I'm calling this 1 (nothing in the tens place and 1 in the ones place). That happened to be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. So, once I'm finished with it, I'll change that book on my sci-fi list to be book 2. I have actually read this book before, but it was a long, long time ago. I'm excited for another chance to visit it and write some reviews!
