Sneaky weekly post, as I didn't see a new sticky post for the week. :3

Check out the community bingo post for 2026, it's a genuinely fun way to navigate your reading, and it's accompanying recommendations post. Happy reading and spooky season! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ“–

    Yes, highly recommend. Just don't start with the first book, Consider Phlebas. A Player of Games is a better entrance to the series, and you can read Consider Phlebas last.

    Thanks for the tip!

    Funny enough, I had tried to start with Consider Phlebas back in May ๐Ÿ˜…, however, my interest waned with other things. I was finding it enjoyable from what I recall, I'll take your suggestion instead as I do remember it being a bit meandering. I'm certain I've come across your exact suggestion from others too before, but I think there's that part of me who feels odd starting out of order in a series haha.
