Me, I’m currently on ”F” is for Fugitive by Sue Grafton, still from my local library.

Long way to a small angry planet
How are you liking F is for Fugitive?
It’s great…the detective was staying at a motel and investigating someone’s murder and played the anti-hero by beating someone up.
I suspect there’s a twist further in the story, but I don’t know for certain: I’m still reading it and I just had it renewed by my local librarian.

My library loan for the Expanse second book expired because I was lazy. Also I had a 5h car trip the other day and decided for the first time to start listening to an audio book! It will take me 20ish hours of listening to finish the first book of Lord of the rings but I am kinda exited about it!
Audiobooks are great for commutes. If you got the version narrated by Andy Serkis, be prepared for him to really dig deep into the songs and rhyming.
Nah I’ve been listening to it in my native tongue!
Currently reading A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine. Liking it so far.
Last finished A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. Didn’t enjoy it as much as The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,
The Spell Shop
Demon Copperhead
Two Twisted Crowns
I particularly loved the first two, as I couldn’t put them down.
Demon Copperhead was a difficult read, emotionally, and I recommend reading it before or after “The Empire of Pain”.
The last one is the second (and final) book of The Shepherd King series, which features a very interesting magic system along with great characters
Lemmy.
Reading “suck it in and smile” in French to try to get some vocab back after letting my French rust in a ditch for a few years. Enjoying reading French and seeing the spellings of words I used regularly.
That said the story is quite underwhelming with some key points that aren’t much of Anything new. Its very short though and easy enough to read despite the language so I’ll finish it up soon and move on to a more interesting story
I’m in the middle of the Hyperion Cantos series. It’s exceptionally good sci-fi, reminds me a lot of games like Elite Dangerous :)
Have you read The Expanse? How does it compare?
I loved the Expanse series, but like Hyperion better. Has the literary structure of Canterbury Tales if you’ve read that. The story spans four books and doesn’t click entirely until you reach the last part of the last book. It’s fantastic. (I’m rereading the series)
Hyperion is a bit more futuristic, but a lot more asymmetric compared to Expanse, keeping it fresh. It’s ideas and ethics go a lot further. It asks and answers questions that people are currently concerned about, or could soon be concerned about, give or take a century or two. I won’t spoil it, but it’s excellent sci-fi. The author clearly did a lot of research while writing it. :)
Nice, I just started The Rise of Endymion
One book behind ya :)
Restarted Reincarnated as a Familiar Vol 1 (LN) by d.s. Craig, because I forgot what I had read, its a good read for the weeb side of me. Young adult books are just easy and therefore fin to read, so I’m just reading at my own pace. (About 1 page per month.)
Re-reading the Count of Monte Cristo
Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind.
“Come closer” by Sara Gran. I’m half way through it. I loooove spooky books and this fits the bill.
I just finished ‘the year of the locust’.
It’s 85% good spy thriller and the last bit gets a bit weird.
Normally I love weird books but I felt like this one didn’t stay on its ‘track’. Still definetly recommend the previous book by the author ‘I am pilgrim’ it’s great.I’m currently slogging through the Illuminatas trilogy, things finally feel like they’re starting to make sense. Let’s hope it stays like that
