My Favorite Books Tier List


So I've decided to do my favorite lists a little bit different this time around. I'm putting everything into tier lists. I rather enjoy tier lists.

Of course, these tier lists will not include every book I've ever read or every game I've ever played.


For instance, in this tier list many many books I have read I removed since I haven't read them in years and years.

As I continue to do things (read books, play games etc.), I will continue to revamp my lists as normal (still pondering an efficient way to have the updated list easily accessible without creating a whole additional post to show a small update on a tier list. But I've got some ideas stirring).


Couple notes about the books below:

Hero of Ages unsurprisingly is still my favorite book of all time.

Skyward, which I reread recently, thoroughly impressed me. It is such a clean, beautiful book. I think I prefer it to the first book in the Mistborn series, which is definitely notable (we'll see if that changes after my reread of the Mistborn books in preparation for The Lost Metal next year). It's kind of a shame that I don't prefer the sequels to Skyward nearly as much. 

Which is similar to how I absolutely love Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow but didn't really enjoy the next two books in the Bean series all that much. I still need to read book 4 in said series (leaving on my mission sooner than expected prevented me from finishing the series outright, so now I need to do some back tracking). Ender's quartet is also on my long list of books to read.

Next up on my reading list, I'm going to go through Oathbringer (which I've already read once) to prepare myself for Rhythm of War.


Cool new list thingy to the left, bytheway. Includes recent reads amongst other things. What I put on there exactly will probably expand and wane throughout time.

So It Begins...

Welp, I'm home. Kind of wild, eh?


I spent the last 2 years serving the Lord in the Utah Salt Lake City mission. What a blessing it has been.


Many posts, I'm sure, will still involve my faith. It is the most important thing to me, after all. I'm sure I'll get to share more about various experiences I've had on my mission. Lessons I've learned, people I know I was supposed to meet, tender mercies, not mere coincidences amongst others in the plethora of things you can draw from in a mission.


But, of course, many posts will now involve many many many other things. I have many projects in mind :)
