The Sisters by Jonas Hassem Khemiri and the 5th book was Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.We have completely different reading list but as I tell everyone "I don't care what you read just as long as you live reading". So at least we do have that in common. Best wishes for 2026.

2026-01-28 07:17:05 +0000 UTCDungeon Crawler Carl series is my favorite set of books I've read this year. It's gone right into my top favorites like Red Rising, Dresden Files, and Johannes Cabal the Necromancer. Great story, superb writing, very engaging characters.

2026-01-27 18:03:54 +0000 UTCGreat video Alastair! Even though it's a massive book, I'm excited to read Bastion after hearing the 3rd one was your favorite of the year. Sounds like it has some awesome and unique world building.

2026-01-26 23:16:40 +0000 UTCI’d love to see in future if you would add Neal Stephenson’s Anathem. It’s a big epic that I would love to re-read with you all. And of course because he just released the 18th book - Dresden Files is really good series (albeit a long one).

2026-01-26 23:15:40 +0000 UTCI’m excited for some of the series you added this year. Bastion is probably the one I’m most excited. I’m curious if you’ve tried the Malazan series. I’ve tried to read Gardens of the Moon three times, but never finished. I’ve always heard it’s one of the best fantasy series, but very complex. I’ll read it eventually…
