00:22:57 <Cassian> Oh....
00:36:31 <nathanbp> hmm...nothing actually happened in this week's ep of Captain Earth >_>
00:37:00 <Cassian> <_<
00:41:50 <nathanbp> Looks like something will probably happen next week...
01:44:57 <nathanbp> ....there are even more books in the Collegium Chronicles?
01:45:22 <nathanbp> I think I'm going to pretend they don't exist >_>
01:49:21 <Cassian> Yeah.....
01:49:32 <Cassian> The fourth one was pretty drawn out
01:49:54 <Cassian> Now we're supposed to find out about his homeland and the book starts with the Harvest Fair
01:50:03 <Cassian> Such good pacing.......
01:50:19 <Cassian> It really didn't need to be 5 books
01:50:35 <Cassian> Since they just recycled the Bear and Lena conflicts in the fourth one because
01:50:54 <nathanbp> I have a whole shelf full of Mercedes Lackey books, but I got tired of her recently when I went back to reread some and I realized her endings are all bad and her stories are mostly the same >_>;;
01:51:04 <nathanbp> I don't know if I even read the fourth one...
01:51:06 <Cassian> Yeah.....
01:51:11 <Cassian> Don't bother
01:51:41 <Cassian> The second half would have been okay if it weren't sequel baiting and he had found shit out then
01:51:47 <Cassian> *we
01:52:36 <nathanbp> this "add your amazon books to goodreads" thing doesn't work very well when I don't want to add manga to goodreads >_>
01:52:45 <Cassian> Lol
01:54:34 <nathanbp> *scroll, scroll* I guess I don't buy very many books from Amazon...
01:59:52 <nathanbp> oh hey new Karl Schroeder novel (damn you Goodreads)
02:00:00 <nathanbp> and the library doesn't have a copy :(
02:06:49 * nathanbp files interlibrary loan request
02:07:07 <Cassian> Damn
02:08:43 <nathanbp> wow, one of the libraries in my system has the first 3 volumes of the Spice and Wolf novels
02:08:51 <Cassian> Damn
02:09:24 <Cassian> New post on the GBF page that say GUNPLA BATTLE NEXT FIGHTERS STANDBY
02:09:33 <nathanbp> oh boy
02:09:39 <Cassian> So everyone is interperting it as a Season 3 when that's all the message says
02:09:57 <nathanbp> not sure what else they'd be posting about?
02:10:14 <Cassian> They can make OVAs or Manga spin-offs >_>
02:10:16 <nathanbp> looks like 4 or 5 libraries in NJ have the first volume of the SAO Novels
02:10:38 <nathanbp> they already have a manga spin off though?
02:10:40 <Cassian> Ours only have the shitty manga adptation
02:10:42 <Cassian> Lol
02:10:51 <Cassian> Yeah but they can always make more
02:11:12 <nathanbp> oh hey, new chapter
02:18:13 <nathanbp> wow...translator notes identifying all the Gundams
02:19:05 <Cassian> Lol
02:21:45 <nathanbp> tor.com has a prequel/background novella for John Scalzi's upcoming book, it's interesting: http://www.tor.com/stories/2014/05/unlocked-an-oral-history-of-hadens-syndrome-john-scalzi
02:21:46 <Sacchi> Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden’s Syndrome by John Scalzi | Tor.com
02:22:13 <Cassian> Ohhh
02:23:18 <nathanbp> it's amusing to see average ratings go up on Goodreads for later books in a series as people who didn't like the first one don't read the later ones >_>
02:23:35 <Cassian> Lol
02:24:22 <Cassian> Author friends rating books up, lol
02:24:34 <nathanbp> ugh, I don't remember which of these Jack McDevitt books is which or which I've actually read...
02:25:32 * nathanbp just rates everything 3 stars >_>
02:25:40 <Cassian> lOL
02:25:44 <Cassian> Opps caps
02:27:14 <nathanbp> oh hey there are things by Steven Brust I haven't rated 5 stars yet
02:27:18 * nathanbp fixes this
02:29:25 <nathanbp> I've now scrolled back in my amazon history to before Tokyopop went out of business >_>
02:32:33 <nathanbp> any clue how to remove a book from your shelves in goodreads?
02:32:45 <nathanbp> oh the link that says  "remove from my books"
02:32:48 <nathanbp> I guess that's how
02:33:06 <Cassian> Yeah
02:33:07 <Cassian> Lol
02:35:49 <nathanbp> Oh boy, I guess I should rate all of David Eddings books...
02:35:55 <nathanbp> did you ever read anything by him?
02:36:18 <Cassian> Nope
02:36:36 <nathanbp> don't >_>
02:36:50 <nathanbp> He writes very generic epic fantasy
02:37:30 <Cassian> Okay
02:37:48 <nathanbp> most noted for writing a sequel to his first series where almost the exact same set of characters do almost the exact same things, complete with an in universe explanation for why it's so similar
02:39:54 <Cassian> Oh god
02:41:02 <nathanbp> and then writing another series with a very similar plot (again)
02:41:21 <nathanbp> I really liked them when I was 12 >_>;;
02:41:24 <Cassian> Lol
02:46:48 <nathanbp> Time for sleep, had to get up early for work this morning
02:46:50 <nathanbp> 'night
02:47:02 <Cassian> Good night!
02:47:07 -!- Cassian has left #Cochineal [Quit]
