Preserving Wilderness character is the essential key to keeping alive the very meaning of wilderness in America. 114024
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Spent many hours playing D&D in the 80’s! Happy times and great memories! 040
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 04/10/2026First October horror read: The Troop by Nick Cutter. 4/5. Creepy doesn't cover it. This one is diabolical, and I'm still creeped out. Go in knowing as little as possible. And maybe skip the camping trip. #BookSky 090
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 02/10/2026True Believer by Jack Carr: 4/5. Not as fast as The Terminal List, but I liked where it went instead. More settings, a bigger world, and more James Reece, which is the whole point. Read book one first. This one picks up right where it left off. #BookSky 060
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I read a lot of King when I was young. The Shining is a re-read before Dr Sleep to refresh my memory. 000
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 27/09/2026October TBR is locked. 17 books, six of them Stephen King, with The Shining and Doctor Sleep going back-to-back. Also on deck: Riley Sager's The Unknown, CJ Leede's Maeve Fly and American Rapture, and Nick Cutter's The Troop. Where do I start? #BookSky 1132
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Easy to get behind James Reece's revenge. The Terminal List by Jack Carr, 4/5. I'd seen the Amazon series first, and the book's differences kept it fresh. #BookSky 080
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Didn't expect a Patterson book to teach me about Hitler's rise to power, but The Munich Affair by James Patterson & David Ellis pulled it off — thriller pacing, real history. 4/5, great on-ramp if you're historical-fiction-curious. #BookSky 050
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Went to help parents this weekend. Mother has liver cancer and a couple weeks ago father had a stroke and can no longer walk. Closer to home daughter has a brain tumor requiring surgery in October. What is the saying about never being given more than you can handle? 021
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman absolutely nailed it for a longtime WoW player. The LitRPG mechanics feel like home, and Carl + his cat-turned-battle-mage Donut are an instant favorite duo. 4/5, and I'm already starting book two. #BookSky 1100
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Just finished The Bones at Point No Point by D.D. Black and wow. Fast, twisty, and the characters are built up so well you forget half of them might be lying to you. PNW setting adds great atmosphere. 4/5 — already hunting for book two. #BookSky 0132
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Pierce Brown stuck the landing on the Red Rising trilogy. Morning Star pays off everything from the first two books, the stakes feel real, and that ending wrecked me. 5/5 — one of the best trilogy closers I've read. #BookSky #RedRising 180
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 05/09/2026New Barbara Nickless, new series, same result: she got me. A Voice in the Dark is a twisty FBI-profiler thriller about online manipulation via gaming and AI — and the tech details actually hold up, which I don’t say lightly as someone who works in the field. 4/5. #BookSky 070
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I go to several independent book stores but am fortunate to have a Barnes and Noble close with the best staff ever! I am amazed with their knowledge, enthusiasm, and recommendations. 040
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I went for Morning Star and ended up with these. The young lady checking me out thought this was a lot of horror books. October and Halloween are coming! 0142
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I perfer physical books but am reading one on kindle right now. The battery just ran out on the final 5% of the book. Ugh! 010
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Golden Son by Pierce Brown might be the best sequel I’ve read in years. Darrow’s more dangerous, Sevro’s pure chaos, Mustang’s terrifyingly sharp — and the last two chapters wrecked me. 5/5. Already itching to start Morning Star. 010
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Red Rising By Pierce Brown Hadn’t read sci-fi in years. Red Rising ended that streak in the best way — locked in from page one, couldn’t put it down, already need book two. Hunger Games fans, this is your next read. 5/5 130
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I have not been this confidently wrong about a book in years. Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney kept undoing my theories, then landed one more twist after I thought it was finished. 5/5 — my ego did not survive. 130
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 21/08/2026What does it take to bring out someone’s Marion? Leah Rowan flips Hitchcock’s Psycho on its head in Marion — twisty as hell, and way more fun than a retelling has any right to be. 4/5, would happily read more from Rowan. 010
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I should say he wore me out so I stuck it in the chair cushion so he could wear himself out! 020
Chad @cjrdfw.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I rate 4/5. Some of the reviews are overly harsh. Everything isn’t spelled out. Some very tense moments! 010
