Still reading When Moon Hits the Eye by John Scalzi.
Had some vacation, so didn’t get time to read much.

I am on a Dungeon Crawler Call run at the moment. Listening to book 4.
Finished There Is No Antimemetics Division (audiobook), started Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Book 3 of the Children of Time series)
I read There is No Antimemetics Division a few weeks ago
Tap for spoiler
. I loved how it turned into an SCP flavored love story at the end.
“The Kings of the Wyld” by Nicholas Eames. Only a few chapters in, but I love it.
The premise is: decades after a famous band of heroes has retired, one of them tries to get the band back together again to rescue his daughter. They’re all old and grumpy, and it’s just awesome. Very dry humor.
Very fun read! Reminded me of a combination Terry Pratchett and Joe Abercrombie in a way.
I’m listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, currently on book #3.
I didn’t expect there to be so many books, I thought it’d finish on the 1st - not sure if it’s “worth it”.
I like the overarching idea but I’m a bit tired of hearing about skill points and mana costs and all that.Each book really references that less and less
Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s pretty much Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy (that style of deadpan humor and comedy of manners) with dumb robots and not-so-sane people taking place on post-apocalyptic Earth.
I love Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so that’s huge praise for me. Going to check it out.
His Children of Time series has been so good. Empathy virus building a post scarcity society - so cool.
I’m halfway through The Crystal Star which is a Star Wars Legends book. It’s been better than the previous stand alone ones atleast.
After this, it’s Dungeon Crawler Carl book #5.
Eric Idle’s biography ‘Always Look On The Bright Side of Life’. Really interesting.
I can hear the whistling.
I’m rereading A Song of Ice and Fire for probably the 4th time. I just finished A Clash of Kings. Doing a mix of reading at home and audiobooks when I’m at work.
Machine Vendetta, book 3 of Alastair Reynold’s The Prefect series.
Platform Decay (Murderbot book 6) on deck
Platform Decay
I have this on my “to-read” list as well!
I’m reading the second book in the Wells of Sorcery series, City of Stone and Silence, by Django Wexler.
It’s decent, but it is YA and has a lot of surface level romance. His other books are much better, unless you want YA romance.
I just finished Yesteryear about a tradwife influencer. It was pretty messed up. Not sure if I liked it or not.
I started I See You’ve Called in Dead, but I’m really struggling with the cringiness of the main character. I doubt I’m going to be able to finish it.
Ah, that’s a shame about I See You’ve Called in Dead; it sounded kinda promising. I can only tolerate so much cringe, though.
In all fairness, I’ve only made it like 2 chapters in. But the best way I have to describe it is being in Michael Scott’s brain, if he was a writer. I just can’t…
About 80% complete with We the People a review of the US constitution and efforts to amend it over the 250 years. Really well written and super interesting
about 40% done with King Sorrow by Joe Hill. What happens when you summon a dragon to help with a problem? Really fun and I don’t want to stop reading.
Last week I finished Market Forces by Richard K. Morgan, his third book after the first two books in the altered carbon series. I thought it was just okay, but I liked the absurdist world of late stage capitalism. Unabashed corporations sponsoring coups in emerging markets
Just finished Fool’s Assassin. I’m not sure how I missed it a decade ago; I love Robin Hobb.
I loved and hated it at the same time. It’s one of those books that feels like half the book is the intro. But…it’s Robin Hobb. I love her writing! And I’ve read 6 of her books starring one of the main characters (and another 6 set in the same world), so there’s a cozy sense of the familiar.
I also just finished Neal Asher’s The Soldier. Based on that, I’ve started reading Gridlinked (which, hindsight, I should have picked up Gridlinked first! But I grabbed The Soldier off the shelf at the library, so c’est la vie…(ou livre?)
I started a new job a while ago, so my reading progress has slowed considerably. I just recently made it halfway through Dungeon Crawler Carl’s: This Inevitable Ruin, but I only have 8 days left with the book 😫
This was 7 days ago, just one day left! Did you finish the book?
Haha thanks for asking. I’m at page 680/880ish. I’m determined to finish it tonight! 💪💪 I’m so grateful that the next one is a bit shorter.
Damn Glad to Meet You by Tim Matheson
Audiobook God of the Woods by Liz Moore
