I really liked the first book but for some reason never got around to reading the last two.

I checked out the wikipedia summary and was like "yeah I'm alright!"

I think I might have liked it more if the audiobook narrator wasn't so dull tbh. It had some interesting stuff going on

"David Benioff and D.B. Weiss"

"Rian Johnson"

WOW, ok. Somebody hates this property and wants to make an audio/visual hate crime. Can't wait.

I really loved Better Days. And a lot of why is because the director sold some of the more teen drama moments in a way that didn't feel like i was watching a teen drama.

Only slightly familiar with the three body problem. i bought the translation off of amazon a bit ago but when i sat down to read it i was very much like "... this may be a bit out of my depth." I guess I can try again.

Excited for this though!

I think there was a post about this before with those that read it saying it can never happen? And Dumb & Dumb? Ewwwww.

I didn't like the book enough to get hype for the series but I will check it out. Also, uhm, didn't a producer attached to this show die by poisoning a few months ago? A Chinese millionaire iirc. The details around that were SO shifty
