Tf? Are you still reading The Magicians?? If not, what are you reading????

It's the next book in the series, The Magician King…. There's still a lot of telling than there is showing, and at one point before the excerpt that I shared Lev Grossman actually put "nomming" in a sentence. 👎

Gonna stick it out and read the entire series….. Lord help me!

Oh god… well good luck

How's everyone passing time?

Me: Notebook, Facebook, Pinterest, Youtube, reading, watching tv/movies, gaming, walking…. Basically everything that I was doing before this plague outbreak.

I've been reading The Magicians series (I'm on The Magician King at the moment), and I hate Quentin and his idiotic decisions/thoughts. Thinking I might have to read something else while I read this series…. I'm thinking I might reread Eragon/The Inheritance Cycle, the Supernatural tie-in books (which I'm gonna do anyway, and will write reviews for them), The Count of Monte Cristo, or a Stephen King novel.

^^^^^

Two down, one to go! The Magician's Land is the end of the book series….. The tv show The Magicians is much, much better!!!!!

Yeah, given what I've heard of the second book (from you haha) I think I'd prefer the series too.

Stay far away from these books!
I'm reading them online, otherwise they'd be meeting fire. Tempted to buy them just so I can burn them…. And I love to read!

oh shit are they that bad ? !
i’ve watched the show and was gonna read it-

i've read the first book, and i didn't really think it was that bad, but then again i didn't really look at the words too closely

There's a lot of telling, not enough showing. The characters in the books are drab and boring. In the second book the author uses "nomming" in a sentence and passes rape off as a good thing…. I haven't started to read The Magician's Land yet (I need a break from reading)…. Check out reviews on Goodreads.

My Goodreads review for The Magicians.

The first book was… okay. I just wish that we saw more of "The Beast", that there was more showing instead of telling, and that there was more time spent on certain areas.

My Goodreads review for The Magicians.

Big oof.

Anyone wanna collaborate on a rogue/assassin character?

I'd prefer someone that's familiar with how my characters are.

i mean,,, kinda ?

Dragon/hydra hybrid…..

Imperial Guard: [Sees a plume of fire in the distance.] DRAGON!

Dragra: [Comes into view.]

Imperial: Talos save us….

Dragonborne: …….. Good luck! [Runs away.]

nice.
sorry, i haven’t gotten around to reading the character profile. i’ll do that now !

One of my mom's soaps that I sometimes watch with her is dealing with some strange sci-fi shit at the moment.

Some doctor somehow managed to transfer another person's personality and memories onto a microchip, which he put into another living person's brain. The living person then took on the identity of the person on the chip.

nice-

And another doctor is attempting to remove the chip, which has some complications as she could possibly kill the guy…. The doctor that put the chip there even attached a tampering-triggered bomb to the chip.

So, lady doc can either risk killing a single person, whom she cares for deeply, or risk killing everyone in the OR!

oh fun

Has anyone else noticed certain phrases or words highlighted blue and given kind of a silly replacement?
