The Eye of the Bedlam Bride: Ch 1 - 16
Book Club discusses the sixth Dungeon Crawler Carl book by Matt Dinniman. Yugio? Pokemon? Magic the Gathering? It's DCC deck building and book club is not totally sold on the new mechanics at play, but flagging fellow crawlers does open some fun contemplations about morality. Some highlights include: speculating about Samantha (getting eaten whole yet again, her role in the 12th floor, and if she'll ever get a body) and staking bets on what the baby Mongos will be (baby dinos, baby bears, pets, or full-blown NPCs). *Spoilers for the full set of DCC books up through the end of Ch 16 in the Bedlam Bride*

The Butcher's Masquerade: Ch. 56 - End
Book club discusses and debates the end (chapters 56-end) of the fifth Dungeon Crawler Carl book, The Butcher's Masquerade, by Matt Dinniman. Did we get excited and start with the epilogue? Possibly. Don't worry, we still talk through the full theories on who Lucia Mar really is (or should we say 'who is in'?). Will Chris ever get more of a moment? Did we care about the unaliving of fellow crawlers at the end of this book? Does Donut truly understand geography?*Spoilers for the full DCC series up to the end of The Butcher's Masquerade*

The Butcher's Masquerade: Ch 26-55
Book club discusses and debates Part 3 (chapters 26-55) of the fifth Dungeon Crawler Carl book, The Butcher's Masquerade, by Matt Dinniman. Did we shed any tears for the loss of the vampire? There may be some AI fan-clubbing as it gets more extreme with its repercussions for not following the spirit of the dungeon. Finishing with out predictions for what will actually happen in the Masquerade at the end of this book. *Spoilers for the full DCC series up to the end of Part 3 in The Butcher's Masquerade*

Debate follows if this is truly a good entry point to the cosmere,it may depend on the age of the reader!Fair warning on spoilers for all other Cosmere novels - it isn't really all of them, but this does have implications for the universe post Storm light Era 1 and we discuss accordingly.

Tress of the Emerald Sea Ch. 34-50
Book club discussed and debates the third fourth (50-75%) of Tress of the Emerald Sea, by Brandon Sanderson: Chapters 34 to 50. We find some new spore colors and types, which is only half of the known spore types, much to our dismay. And of course, make predictions for the Sanderlanche coming in the last quarter of the book - we still have both the Dragon and Sorcerous!Fair warning on spoilers for other Cosmere novels, to potentially include Misborn Eras 1 and 2, Isle of the Emberdark, and minor components of others possibly.

How are the people on earth gathering these tents? We cannot guarantee you will get an answer, but you will get to laugh along with us.Spoilers for all of DCC through the end of the fourth book.
