  • The show stops at book 6, so there’s a whole chunk you never got to see! (Plus some changes in characters/plot that were necessary to streamline the show) I liked both for different reasons, but there are certain characters that definitely got an upgrade in the show because the casting was so goddamn amazing (Ashford’s role was expanded because … David Straithern)

    Another couple series came to mind as well: The Codex Alera and Cinder Spires series, both by Jim Butcher. Cinder Spires is ongoing, the 2nd book just came out.


  • Fair warning, Rothfuss hasn’t touched the Kingkiller Chronicles in a long time and there’s no indication if he will ever finish it. (My husband delights in taunting his mom by sending her articles about whatever project Rothfuss is currently working on that’s not the Kingkiller Chronicles)

    You have a very similar taste in literature to me so I’d like to offer for your consideration:

    • The Expanse series by S.A. Corey (the show adaptation is also excellent)

    • Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (first in a series but that’s the only one I’ve read so far)




  • I actually grew up on a good version of tuna casserole. We never used the condensed soup or potato sticks, we made a bechamel and topped the dish with parmesan and breadcrumbs. My parents did some weird things when trying to use up leftovers, but I will give them credit for refusing to use the canned/premade versions of a lot of things.
