I almost forgot the weekly thread again, so just putting it up, will post my updates later.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I started off the week with an Outlanders book (I think it was number 5)

Since then I have been binging on Dungeon Crawler Carl. After hearing people constantly mention it and good things being said I thought i would give it a try and I am loving it. I am already half way through the third book.

It reminds me of a mix of Solo Levelling with Buy Mort. It is very similar to Buy Mort in how it is presented, written and the humour behind everything. So to anyone who loves a bit of Dungeon Crawler Carl, I would highly highly recommend giving The Shopocalypse Saga: Buy Mort books a go, I think you'd love them as well!

    Similar. Picked up 'Carl' at the library and killed it in two days. Have Book #2 on hold.

    Will check Shopocalypse, thank you for the suggestion.

    Have you ever tried "Red Harvest" by Dashiell Hammett?

    No worries, I hear Carl mentioned a lot but no one has ever spoken about Buy Mort and it is done in such a similar vein that I think people would really enjoy it!

    Never heard of Red Harvest but will check it out for sure, thanks!
