Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for...

When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul’s family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad’Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind’s most ancient and unattainable dream.

I'm most definitely behind already in this series. Hoping to dive into book 1 either today or tomorrow!

Starting book 1 now!

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[This world seems pretty cool. It's definitely interesting to see what skills the people have and what they do to get what they want. Like faking one's death to control the spice or being able to tell if someone is lying (which reminds me of cinder). I'm also really loving the audiobook right now - the narrators are amazing for all the characters. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[It definitely makes sense that the deaf can't be controlled by the voice. I'm just hoping Jessica and Paul can keep being safe. Knees to chest people - we need to run! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[The worms make me think of the tremor movies. Mostly because I've seen those and I've never watched Dune before.. or read the books until today lol.

I am very intrigued by worms and the spices being tied together in some way. I just have so many questions and not enough answers. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[I can't believe how much time has passed. Also is Paul going to get his worm? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-Finish: (view spoiler)[wait a damn minute.. he's going to take a wife AND a concubine?!?!? (hide spoiler)]

Let me know when you want to dive into the sequel!

🤣🤣 finally gonna start this today

Oh feel free to start the sequel

I'm so behind on other BR's lol. So I will try to catch up on the standalone's today. Then I will jump into the sequel tomorrow? Maybe? lol

Starting book #2 now!

Prologue: (view spoiler)[The interview and history was pretty interesting. I'm really excited for this one! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[Oh shit, I forgot to write down a comment lol. I'm still enjoying the world but it's kind of weird to see Paul is this funk. I mean.. he's freaking Emperor.. and he's sad that he can do random shit? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Paul's powers are definitely interesting. Especially when people want to be protected from it. I'm also not sure how I feel about him being in disguise right now but I'm happy to see where things go from here (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-Finish: (view spoiler)[I'm very excited for this new adventure!! (hide spoiler)]

I'm going to jump in my other BR's to help knock them down or catch up lol. I'm so behind on other ones. I'll dive into book 3 after I catch up some or whenever you are ready to jump into it.

🤣🤣🤣 its alright. U can go on to read the sequels. Dont have to wait for me.

I am still on Book 1 and it isnt catching my attention

LOL yes to all of that.

How's the book so far Attack Salmon?

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[Hmm.. so far this one is okay. Not much is really happening though. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Hmm.. okay things are getting better but eh.. the twins aren't really sparking any interest right now. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[I'm definitely struggling with this one.. it's just not keeping my interest. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[Okay things are starting to pick up a bit but dang.. I shouldn't be so bored with the third book - right? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-50: (view spoiler)[..and I'm back on the struggle bus with this one. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 51-60: (view spoiler)[Is anyone even a fan of Jessica anymore? I just don't like her vibes in this one.. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 61-Finish: (view spoiler)[Wow. Yikes. This took me forever to get through.. (hide spoiler)]

I think I'm going to continue my game of catching up in other buddy reads before I dive into the next book. I hope you're still liking the book! If not, let me know.

Are you still enjoying the book?

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[So far this is a bit better than the previous book.. but Leto is kind of meh right now. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[It's interesting to see how Leto keeps getting surprised by things.. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[Hmm.. a clone? I wonder why Leto can't sense it. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[I definitely feel bad for what Leto is going through.. it sounds horrible. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-Finish: (view spoiler)[Okay, that was pretty interesting and now I need to find out what is going to happen next. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[Hmm so far it's okay and I have a lot of questions about what has been said so far. Especially when it comes to the sandrider. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Sheeana is a boss ass bitch. Asking a question and being ignored? Send them away! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[..but will they join together? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[I feel like I have some questions but I'm a little bored. Hopefully it picks up. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-Finish: (view spoiler)[Some of this was interesting but I really found myself bored with most of this book. Hoping the next two are better. (hide spoiler)]

Starting the next book now.

Prologue: (view spoiler)[I'm not super invested right now but I'm so close to finishing this series that I might as well just get through it. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-10:(view spoiler)[I think it's okay but so far it's helping me clean lol. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Ugh. I'm just so bored with everything. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[I still don't really care about what is going on and I'm trying to figure out why there are so many books in this series. Especially when this one kind of seems pointless (to me). (hide spoiler)]

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[Finally we meet her! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-Finish: (view spoiler)[Okay, the ending of this was probably my favorite part. The rest of the book was a hot mess because it just dragged me the whole way through it. Not a lot happened and that's why I was bored. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-5: (view spoiler)[Well, how rude.. but at the same time grateful. (hide spoiler)]
