So I have decided to make my new years resolution to read 1 book a week for the next year. Then I went ahead to start late last week and go ahead and read around 55 books by 12/31/20.

So book 1 that I started with was Starsight by Brandon Sanderson. I started this book on 12/19/19 and finished on 12/22/19.

The book is a sequel to Skyward. It is a young adult science fiction novel. This coming from a fantasy writer. I read skyward about 1 year ago and I enjoyed it. The setting was very refreshing.

That brings us to Starsight. This book was not even close to as good as Skyward. Where skyward based alot of its story around team building. The main protagonist getting out of the shadow of her father who was a amazing pilot who betrayed humankind.

This second book threw all of that out of the window. She goes on a solo mission. They replace her human wingmates for some alien ones that dont get as fleshed out as the humans were in the first book. Second in the first book the aliens they were fighting were a bit of a mystery about their motivations. The second book while it had some mystery it kinda was just like politics for one group and mindless hunger for the other.

All and all while Starsight had some very interesting parts, it was slower and not a interesting as skyward. Skyward I couldn't put the book down. I kept telling myself I will only read one more chapter and then sleep. 5 chapters later I told my self the same thing 1 more chapter and that is it. Starsight was just read one more chapter so we can finish this soon.

I would rank this 3/10

Book 2/55 will be another Brandon Sanderson book Mistborn. While I have already read this book it has been around 10 years ago. I started the book last night and hope to finish it in the next 2-3 days and will give you a review also.

Thanks for reading and hope you stay on this journey with me.

This is awesome! I should do this too, though I'm not sure I could keep up... maybe a book every 2 weeks would suit me better.

Taking a page out of my book I see...

I didn't quite hit my goal this year, but I still have read more than I have since I was much younger. Hopefully your quest will lead you to some interesting novels like mine did!

If you need some recommendations, I have a few in mind.

So you are forcing yourself to enjoy something? i mean atleast read something of value to you that you wouldn´t usually enjoy in your leisure time. Maybe something about your profession or some basic physics maths etc. something helpful or atleast directed at a certain goal.

Sure it´s fine to read some books just for funsies but imho it defeats the purpose if you force yourself to do it.

Sanderson is solid, a lot of people I know read his stuff. Curious to see your different critiques on books from different genres, especially non-fiction/memoirs/etc. I tend to read more non-fiction personally, but enjoy science fiction/fantasy as well.
