[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.

That's quite alright. It's not to everyone's tastes. That is why I had hoped to add a bit of variety to my list.

And yes, I have had mystery suggested to me many times. I'll be sure to look for those to add. As for fantasy, what kind of fantasy would you enjoy?

[He's from a fantasy world he might need specifics here.]

[scooba]

I suppose anything that involves some kind of magic? At least something that makes people be in awe of what they read...

And maybe make them think about it too.

[phoenixdominant]

Interesting. I believe what you're looking for is High Fantasy.

[scooba]

Is that what it is called? Then I suppose I'm interested in reading anything that has High Fantasy.

Has anyone recommended anything like that to you yet?

[phoenixdominant]

They have not, actually. I'm only assuming because our world itself carries a lot of magic and intrigue as it is.

I'll do my best to find a few titles to add to the list. If you find any, please do share.

[scooba]

Um...okay then. In the meantime, can I ask how you've been?

It's been sometime since I last talked to you....

[phoenixdominant]

[Oh, what a sweet child... Joshua hadn't expected to be remembered.]

I have been well enough. I am recovering from an injury but I am on the mend.

And how have you been?

[scooba]

Uh....I think that I'm okay. I haven't been doing much and I have been spending a lot of time with my brother...

But are you going to be okay?
