How is everyone coming on the book (To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini)? Let's pick a date and time to discuss, maybe this coming week?

Hi all! Been chatting with @Simralin, and To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini is our first selection of the revived RoH book group! We're thinking we'll read for a few weeks, then ping to see where people are since it is a fairly long book. I loved the Eragon series that he wrote as a very young author, so I'm curious to see how his writing has changed as an adult! Enjoy!

Hilarious! Now we have a three-way tie. We can always put the same books in the running for the next pick. I think I want to read all of these!

@Simralin @K'lon (they/them) @CheekyMonkey66 @Caitbrooke @MontagoHalcyon @MrsLangdonAlger @Dlique @Tyrtaeus @Martini (she/her) @Caliie @Grim_Tidings91 @Emryl Raine Currently we have a tie, so if you intend to read and haven't voted for our first book, please do! https://forms.office.com/r/sjCp4HZkKb

I loved that book! POLL - VOTE!! Here is a poll to vote for the next book we will read and discuss: https://forms.office.com/r/sjCp4HZkKb

I loved that book!

I think a sci-fi / fantasy focus makes sense for us. For the survey, how about Ancillary Justice, by Ann Leckie? Paolini’s new book is also on my to-read list. Hail Mary was great, and I’d be glad to have a group to discuss it!

I got my t-shirt and pin!

I'd like to go too!

Hi Koro, In ESO there are no actual spears, although some cosmetic-only motifs (especially staves) look like spears. Weapon choice somewhat dictates role; only tanks typically use shields. Any one-handed weapon in combination with a shield plays pretty much the same. Your options are: sword, dagger, axe, and mace. Hope that helps! Sorry, not sure why this post showed up in my feed!

Has anyone read any LitRPG? I discovered this new genre recently. Wikipedia defines it as "a literary genre combining the conventions of RPGs with science-fiction and fantasy novels. Games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story and visible RPG statistics (for example strength, intelligence, damage) are a significant part of the reading experience. This is in contrast to GameLit, which involves game-like worlds but does not typically provide visible statistics. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel may understand that they are playing a game or are in a game-like world: they are 'meta-aware'. " Examples: Awaken Online by Travis Bagwell; The Land: Founding by Aleron Kong If you have read any, what did you think? Have you found any authors you liked? The ones I've read are a bit like testosterone-laced candy.

I'd like to be added please!
