The Husbands by Holly Gramazio

Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow, Ann Friedman

December 31, 2024 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Buried Deep and Other Stories (⭐⭐⭐⭐ but for the ones I read) Did I get this only to re-visit the world of Temeraire? You bet! I felt, I think like many people, that Novik got a bit fed up of her Dragon + Napoleonic Wars world by the end, with the whimsy and joy taken over by staid descriptions of military marches and food depots. This was a way to return to the original joy, especially since one of the retellings was of Pride and […]

Warhammer 40k Core Rulebook 10th edition

Warhammer 40k Core Rulebook 10th edition by Games Workshop

December 31, 2024 by jmsudar 1 Comment

The last in my sprint to technically have 52 books before the end of CBR16. The Warhammer 40k rulebook is an absolute slog; too wordy in the creative parts, too difficult to grasp all the rules until you’ve lost a bunch of games in a row. Don’t bother unless you’re allergic to time and money.

Tau Codex 10th Edition

Tau Codex 10th Edition by Games Workshop

December 31, 2024 by jmsudar Leave a Comment

Okay I admit I’m really padding my numbers here, but this is a pretty big book and I did read it all, trying to get to a point where I stop losing so many games. The Tau are unique within Warhammer 40k as one of the only optimistic races who use technology to the betterment of everyone. This stands in stark contrast to… everyone else. In addition, they get some seriously fun toys, like gigantic mech suits, powerful high tech weaponry, and all at the […]

The Fellowship of the Ring

The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

December 31, 2024 by jmsudar Leave a Comment

Do I really need to say anything about this book? It’s still as good as it ever was, remains completely influential to everything we interpret as high fantasy, and the language is like slipping into a warm bath.

Soul Arts

Soul Arts by VaatiVidya

December 31, 2024 by jmsudar Leave a Comment

Soul Arts is a visual exploration of fan art within the FromSoftware universe, curated by VaatiVidya, one of the best creators in the space. I bought this book immediately, hoping and having that hope rewarded, that it would contain a collection of all the fan art he’s shown off on his YouTube channel. The pages are gigantic and detailed, the lore is complete, and the value is high for anyone who values these games.

Uncanny

Uncanny by Junji Ito

December 31, 2024 by jmsudar Leave a Comment

Gonna speedrun my way to 52 like an asshole who completely missed the point. Uncanny is an excellent insight into how Junji Ito worked across his storied career, akin to Stephen King’s On Writing and every bit as enjoyable.
