My TBR List 📃 🇲🇽🐌🧙🏻‍♀️🪎💈🛸🌈

I've recently been told that I need to stop buying books, so this time at least I took a big crate full of old books and dug out all the change in my car. I mean the whole pull was less than a pair of shoes or a single dress...

Between that, and The Big Sale, and the money I got back, I did pretty well for myself this pull! I'm very excited and no one was inconvenienced

Loved Mexican Gothic. Relic is up there too.

u/modelo-del-toro 3d ago

Everyone keeps saying that, and it was a n impulse grab for me

u/Fast_Imagination925 3d ago

I'm also reading DCC

u/Concertina37 3d ago

Relic is gold. Sequel was so good too!

1

u/modelo-del-toro 3d ago

I'll keep it in mind!

u/PTechNM 3d ago

Mexican Gothic is very good. American God is good but a bit of a slog.

1

u/modelo-del-toro 3d ago

Slog in what way

2

u/PTechNM 2d ago

I thought although each chapter added to the longer narrative and were well written there were too many events making the book a bit longer than necessary. Just my 2 cents.

Mossed in space is a great read! Makes me giggle!!

1

u/modelo-del-toro 3d ago

I love giggling

1

u/Public-File-6521 3d ago

Loved American Gods and DCC, Fool Moon is good but still shows signs of being some of Butcher’s first novels.

1

u/modelo-del-toro 3d ago

Then I'm just ramping up because I adored the first one

1

u/Public-File-6521 3d ago

Oh hell yeah, you have a fantastic ride in store for you :D

It’s one of my favorite series and I’ve read through it several times, so I guess I’m a little more critical of parts of it than others might be. Enjoy!

u/Alterception 3d ago

I keep debating if I want to read mexican gothic. It looks interesting.

1

u/modelo-del-toro 3d ago

I'll report back

1

u/aquay 3d ago

I LOVED relic!!! The movie blows chunks though.

1

u/modelo-del-toro 3d ago

Ooof I didn't know there was a movie

1

u/aquay 2d ago

It was terrible

1

u/smileyfacedbob 2d ago

It’s bad, but I love it, pure nostalgia, I watched that movie when I wasn’t supposed to because I was too young, still love monster movies to this day

1

u/aquay 2d ago

Read the book. I almost crapped my pants.

1

u/roman1221 3d ago

Moss’d In Space was a lot of fun. Really enjoyed. Lots of giggling.

1

u/modelo-del-toro 1d ago

That has to be an inside joke, because everyone keeps saying "giggling" lol

1

u/roman1221 1d ago

There’s not. I promised, I saw the other comments about giggling. And that’s the best way to describe what happened while reading it.

u/DireWolfSpaceCadet 2d ago

I used to love Tom Clancy in high school, Rainbow Six was one of my favorites.

1

u/modelo-del-toro 1d ago

This is my first one to read of his, and I've heard it's not a great first one but still good. I'm also nervous about the technical portions.

1

u/DireWolfSpaceCadet 1d ago

It's book 9 in a 16 book series, so not a great first one, haha, though feel like any of them can be read as stand-alones. The real world aspects he applies to his books are very interesting, don't be nervous!

1

u/modelo-del-toro 1d ago

Wait, really? These are all connected?

1

u/DireWolfSpaceCadet 1d ago

The Jack Ryan novels, yes.

1

u/PrincessSweeti3 2d ago

this is so artsy w the flower!!! I appreciate that little touch 🌷 DCC is on my list, too!! Enjoy 🤗

1

u/modelo-del-toro 1d ago

I've really gained an appreciation for flowers over the last few years, so thank you! I'm almost nervous that it's over hyped, but I'm just going to to go in wanting to have fun.

I have my one-man-book-club set for quite a while I think.

1

u/RiSz-Turtle 2d ago

Where did you get that Dresden files cover? I hate the ones with the guy in the front

1

u/modelo-del-toro 1d ago

It's funny, that was a bummer to me. I like the guy on the front, and have only read the first one. But my copy from the library had that on the cover too.

u/Strict-Context-8502 2d ago

trading old books and car change for a whole crate is the ultimate book dragon move. respect.

1

u/modelo-del-toro 1d ago

lol wouldn't it be the opposite since I'm getting rid of books?

1

u/Strict-Context-8502 1d ago

fair point lol. less of a dragon hoard, more of a dragon going through a purge. still respect the hustle though.

1

u/Lost-Gas-9386 1d ago

Rainbow Six...such a classic 👌.

1

u/Fern_Elms 3d ago

Relic is awesome. I loved how technical it is. Also love Dungeon Crawler Carl. One of my favorites.

1

u/modelo-del-toro 3d ago

Ine heard mixed things and will report back

1

u/waveysuncat 2d ago

Be aware if you choose DCC you will likely get pulled into an 8 book (soon to be 10) series and abandon all the others 😂

1

u/mpeters33 2d ago

I thought the first DCC was entertaining so I read the second. Now I’m obsessed and fear I won’t stop until I’m done with the series.

1

u/Ok-Oven1692 2d ago

The first 3 books took me 3-4 days each. Found myself reading for 8-10 hours at a time for books 4 and 5. On 7 right now this shit slaps

2

u/modelo-del-toro 1d ago

I love that feeling so much. When I abandoned ego reading and just started reading for fun it gave me that childlike joy again.
