| 01:49:21 [Cassian] | Yeah..... |
| 01:49:32 [Cassian] | The fourth one was pretty drawn out |
| 01:49:54 [Cassian] | Now we're supposed to find out about his homeland and the book starts with the Harvest Fair |
| 01:50:03 [Cassian] | Such good pacing....... |
| 01:50:19 [Cassian] | It really didn't need to be 5 books |
| 01:50:35 [Cassian] | Since they just recycled the Bear and Lena conflicts in the fourth one because |
| 01:50:54 [nathanbp] | I have a whole shelf full of Mercedes Lackey books, but I got tired of her recently when I went back to reread some and I realized her endings are all bad and her stories are mostly the same >_>;; |
| 01:51:04 [nathanbp] | I don't know if I even read the fourth one... |
| 01:51:06 [Cassian] | Yeah..... |
| 01:51:11 [Cassian] | Don't bother |
| 01:51:41 [Cassian] | The second half would have been okay if it weren't sequel baiting and he had found shit out then |
| 01:51:47 [Cassian] | *we |
| 01:52:36 [nathanbp] | this "add your amazon books to goodreads" thing doesn't work very well when I don't want to add manga to goodreads >_> |
| 01:52:45 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 01:54:34 [nathanbp] | *scroll, scroll* I guess I don't buy very many books from Amazon... |
| 01:59:52 [nathanbp] | oh hey new Karl Schroeder novel (damn you Goodreads) |
| 02:00:00 [nathanbp] | and the library doesn't have a copy :( |
| 02:06:49 [nathanbp] | * nathanbp files interlibrary loan request |
| 02:07:07 [Cassian] | Damn |
| 02:08:43 [nathanbp] | wow, one of the libraries in my system has the first 3 volumes of the Spice and Wolf novels |

| 02:09:24 [Cassian] | New post on the GBF page that say GUNPLA BATTLE NEXT FIGHTERS STANDBY |
| 02:09:33 [nathanbp] | oh boy |
| 02:09:39 [Cassian] | So everyone is interperting it as a Season 3 when that's all the message says |
| 02:09:57 [nathanbp] | not sure what else they'd be posting about? |
| 02:10:14 [Cassian] | They can make OVAs or Manga spin-offs >_> |
| 02:10:16 [nathanbp] | looks like 4 or 5 libraries in NJ have the first volume of the SAO Novels |
| 02:10:38 [nathanbp] | they already have a manga spin off though? |
| 02:10:40 [Cassian] | Ours only have the shitty manga adptation |
| 02:10:42 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 02:10:51 [Cassian] | Yeah but they can always make more |
| 02:11:12 [nathanbp] | oh hey, new chapter |

| 02:21:45 [nathanbp] | tor.com has a prequel/background novella for John Scalzi's upcoming book, it's interesting: http://www.tor.com/stories/2014/05/unlocked-an-oral-history-of-hadens-syndrome-john-scalzi |
| 02:21:46 [Sacchi] | Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden’s Syndrome by John Scalzi | Tor.com |
| 02:22:13 [Cassian] | Ohhh |
| 02:23:18 [nathanbp] | it's amusing to see average ratings go up on Goodreads for later books in a series as people who didn't like the first one don't read the later ones >_> |
| 02:23:35 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 02:24:22 [Cassian] | Author friends rating books up, lol |
| 02:24:34 [nathanbp] | ugh, I don't remember which of these Jack McDevitt books is which or which I've actually read... |
| 02:25:32 [nathanbp] | * nathanbp just rates everything 3 stars >_> |
| 02:25:40 [Cassian] | lOL |
| 02:25:44 [Cassian] | Opps caps |

| 02:27:18 [nathanbp] | * nathanbp fixes this |
| 02:29:25 [nathanbp] | I've now scrolled back in my amazon history to before Tokyopop went out of business >_> |
| 02:32:33 [nathanbp] | any clue how to remove a book from your shelves in goodreads? |
| 02:32:45 [nathanbp] | oh the link that says "remove from my books" |
| 02:32:48 [nathanbp] | I guess that's how |
| 02:33:06 [Cassian] | Yeah |
| 02:33:07 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 02:35:49 [nathanbp] | Oh boy, I guess I should rate all of David Eddings books... |
| 02:35:55 [nathanbp] | did you ever read anything by him? |
| 02:36:18 [Cassian] | Nope |
| 02:36:36 [nathanbp] | don't >_> |
| 02:36:50 [nathanbp] | He writes very generic epic fantasy |
| 02:37:30 [Cassian] | Okay |
| 02:37:48 [nathanbp] | most noted for writing a sequel to his first series where almost the exact same set of characters do almost the exact same things, complete with an in universe explanation for why it's so similar |
| 02:39:54 [Cassian] | Oh god |
| 02:41:02 [nathanbp] | and then writing another series with a very similar plot (again) |
| 02:41:21 [nathanbp] | I really liked them when I was 12 >_>;; |
| 02:41:24 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 02:46:48 [nathanbp] | Time for sleep, had to get up early for work this morning |
