Can Anyone Recommend me Magic/Superhero School or Guild Stories?...

Wow, what a great adventure! If you haven’t heard of it, it’s about an English sea captain who gets marooned in Japan around 1600, and has to adapt to Japanese culture. Lots of politicking, romance, and decapitation. Very loosely based on real people too....

I loved the book, it was a very fun fever dream. Do the sequels have that same sort of frenetic energy?...

I learned to read in grade school like pretty much everyone else I know, and I remember really enjoying reading for a very narrow portion of my younger years.

Preferably something with a social aspect too where you can see the books others have read. Something like MyAnimeList but for books

I’m being gifted a “Little Free Library” for my birthday and I’m super excited to get started....

I hate it, they translate a book and decide that they want to sell it twice so they split it into two. They did it with every book of A Song of Ice and Fire and yesterday I’ve discovered they also did it with To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. I hate paying twice for one book.
