I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.
It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president
Just started raft by Stephen Baxter, little concerned when I found out there are a dozen more books, roughly.
Digging the first though, so...
I read through all of them a couple of years ago, he's one of my favourite writers and all the books are pretty good. They jump around a lot and try different things which keep it interesting, from what I remember.
Okay. I have the omnibus now, which I understand is the first four novels.
So are the final xeelee sequence titled novels the ending books of the entire series?
Is the series finally ended?
I just read "Eyes Guts Throat Bones", highly recommend at least reading the "Rath" story
Just finished rewatching The Magicians, since it's my favorite darker adult magic TV Show. Now I am about to start The Magicians by Lev Grossman to see what it's like. Heard the books are more nihilistic.
I'm currently reading Fool's Fate, the third in the Tawny Man trilogy, which itself is the 3rd trilogy in the Realm of the Elderlings sequence by Robin Hobb. I've loved every book so far and this is no exception although

I'm still grieving Nighteyes
Poor Fitz has had a shit life so far. I'm hoping he gets some sort of happiness before the end of this one.
Hey I have The Wager in my list, but right now I'm reading The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber, it's excellent. Going really slow because it contains so much information, I read a few pages and that sends me in a research spiral for an hour and a thoughts spirals for the day.
Dungeon Crawler Carl and Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Sanderson
I just finished Lieutenant Hornblower and am thoroughly enjoying the series. I’ll be starting Hornblower and the Hotspur soon.
Working through Perdido Street Station on my new Kobo. I understand the critiques on pacing, and spending too much time on world building as now, 400 pages in, races, sections of the city, creatures, and cultures are still being introduced. But it has been an enjoyable ride so far, especially with one of the main PoVs being one of my favorite tropes of just "scientist doing science"
