[Due to the Garuda Incident, this post is coming from a very bedridden Joshua who is recovering from some bad injuries. So, he’s bored and desperately running out of books to read.]

Good afternoon,

It seems I've found myself with a surplus of free time this month, and with that realization comes the stark truth—I've exhausted my reading list.

So, I had an idea. Why not extend an invitation to others who might be interested in joining the book club that Tifa and I have been enjoying? Every few weeks, we gather to exchange ideas and thoughts on the current book we're reading, and it's led to some wonderful discussions.

While our tastes have leaned toward adventure and romance novels thus far, I'm open to exploring books from other genres to diversify our collection. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few of the books we've read so far:

"The Swashbuckling Misadventures of Captain Bumblebeard"
"Enchanted Hearts and Dragon Flames"
"Spells and Sword Swells"
"Quest for the Heartstone: A Tale of Love and Sorcery"
"Siren's Song: A Pirate's Passionate Plunder"
"That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted A Love Potion At A Werewolf"

Although, I’m still not entirely certain what “yeeted” means. I only assume it means, “to throw”?

If you might be interested in joining in on our next reading, please do. As well as I’m taking suggestions for more books that the group might enjoy.

Sincerely,
Joshua.

I know there's the big library on the Elah, but I think that's mostly, like, really old books. I tried looking at some of them and they were just really dusty and didn't make a lot of sense.

I'd kinda be interested in reading some adventure books though.

[phoenixdominant]

I have been to the Elah library archives a few times myself. I agree, they are not exactly the type of books that I'm looking for, for this.

I am looking for stories. Or epics that turn the heart, of course. Good adventure books can do just that.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah? Where did you find them then? 'Cause I want to read more.

Like, bookstores and stuff?

[phoenixdominant]

Yes, I found them in bookstores around town. Some of the best finds from the hidden back alley stores where you would least expect it.

Just as good adventure finds us.

[seasaltkeys]

Huh. I guess I need to explore the town more.

I wouldn't mind having an adventure like that.

[phoenixdominant]

I suggest taking a stroll to simply explore. You'll be surprised at what you might find.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, that seems like a good idea.

There's almost too much to explore here.

[phoenixdominant]

Too much? What do you mean, if I may ask?

[seasaltkeys]

Well, I mean, there's everything on the main island, and the Paladin island, and then all the other islands. And all the stuff we don't even know about.

it's a lot.
