Struggling my way through Star Wars Planet of Twilight. Kids are out of school so harder to find dedicated time to read, but I also didn’t enjoy her last book either. After his is Dungeon Crawler Carl book 4.
This author (Barbara Hambley) just seems to want to describe everything as much as possible, yet there’s nothing to base it on. Yeah sure you’re talking some trees, but what are they? The lore just seems so empty.
Hey! How far along are you in the Star Wars books?
Unless I’ve miscounted, 99/141 of the legends books. The list is my brothers, so it’s the ones he’s read. I’ve gone from top to bottom.
Wow, that's a long list, but your are 2/3rd of the way done, so nice work there!
How long do you think it will take to finish them?
Thank you! I find it’s always easier to do something when there’s a goal and a method. So I’ve been consistent with it, even with all of life’s curveballs.
Hrmm there’s two ways to look at this I think.
First, I got back into reading around the start of 2022, and did this pattern for most of it, so we can say I’m 2/3 done in four years and will be completely done in a little over two years.
The other, I started tracking my reading in StoryGraph at the beginning of the yeah. I’ve got 40 books left, and it says my current pace is a book every 10 days. So with my alternating pattern it would be 80 books for 800 days. Just a little over 2 years.
Neat.
Ooh, that's interesting! Good luck!
