A little late, but I’d give Coraline a shot if you haven’t yet. It’s a great book that any age would appreciate.

Glad to hear your enjoying it! I’m “only” on A Crown of Swords, so I still have quite a bit to go. I won’t spoil anything for you, though it is hard to keep track of what happens in which book.

One thing I like about this series is how Jordan handles the chosen one trope. He pretty much makes being a Ta’veren a character trait that anyone can have. Instead of being important because you come from such-and-such bloodline or are like part god or something, its just like some people have this inherent thing about them that makes them more important to the universe than everyone else. It’s a really interesting idea and, who knows, maybe it gets explained more later (or honestly it could have already been explained since so much stuff happens and is explained and revealed I can’t keep track of it all).

I’m really liking the series so far and it’s my dad’s favorite series so I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts as you get further!

Can’t recommend the “arr” suite enough. Literally just tell it to look for something, forget about it, and then one day it just appears on my server. If anyone wants to get more into automation when it comes to this sort of stuff, this is the way to go.

I’d like to find some sort of 3D art community. Also, since more specific communities like Blender, Houdini, Maya, etc. Just more art communities in general.

Some, I guess “self-help” communities would be nice too. Like I just recently got into the Loseit subreddit so something like that. Other mental and physical health communities would be really nice.

And there have been some communities that I’d just like to see grow and become more active like film/TV and book communities.

I’m also new to Lemmy, so I might just be looking in the wrong places.
