I've played your tbr game a few times. I am NOT good at guessing what you think of books. Lol. I'm gonna be reading Wisdom of Crowds in June, too. It's my first time reading it, though. The audiobooks are excellent for that series. I don't regret reading them in audio format.

Lots of rereads!!! For the TBR I put soooo many 5 stars smh 🤦♂. I love all the books so much I just couldn't pick lower than 5 stars. Felt like an insult to these books to put them any lower haha 😂

I love you Matt, but saying you don`t get an extra layer of nuggets rereading ASOIAF is the single most dumb thing ive heard you say :p Just on a plot level the pure level of foreshadowing of the red wedding is miles ahead of what Sanderson does. Tywin scribbling the letter in Tyrions presence which you can only really get on a reread. So many character decisions have ripples that are so inevitably obvious on rereads.

Lol, fair point. I should have really focused on books 4/5, that's where I see that problem more distinctly in that series. Regardless, the foreshadowing is FAR lower than a writer who plans things out in far more detail.

I predict Mistborn will be a 3. I think the twists really uphold the story during the first read. Going back to it I realized all of the side characters are more interesting than the main protagonist.

In reference to audiobook narrators- I'm curious (as I can't recall hearing you about ever talking about it) have you listened to The Dresden Files? Because James Masters does a Master-full job...eh...eh see what I did there!....sorry

@@MattsFantasyBookReviewsthanks for the response and good to know! I do get a kick out of Dresden but I totally get it 😅 I haven't listened to any but he has done a couple of other narration though if you every want those sultry tones of Masters (mostly classics and he also did the series 'Vampire Empire' apparently)

I have to HARD disagree about the point regarding George RR Martin not leaving any hidden nuggets in his stories… Martin has far far more hidden nuggets in his story than any author I’ve ever read and I’d be willing to bet more than any author ever published. His nuggets are just a lot more subtle so you may have missed them. I find you really have to slow your reading pace and pay a lot of attention to catch them all.

Most of my rereads are in audiobooks since my TBR pile for those is super thin. The huge TBR pile I have is my physical book pile. Besides that, there's some series I really can't stop thinking about and look forward to reading books I already know I'm going to love. Plus, some series just beg for a reread due to the different experience you get with the foreshadowing you pick up on.
