I discovered Tim Powers way too late and his stories are super great.

I’m chugging along with Murderbot, I finished up through Network Effect and am on to Fugitive Telemetry and then System Collapse. I realized I had those two swapped in order in my Kobo halfway through reading them. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Edit: maybe not swapped? Every Goodreads and Fantastic Fiction both show Network Effect before. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Edit 2: written after but per https://www.marthawells.com/murderbot.htm set before.

I’m not sure where I’ll go next yet, maybe further into Theodora Gross’s Athena Club books. I stared that for a past bingo and ended up enjoying the 1st book. I’m super excited for our bingo to start, but I could be biased.

I finished A Crown of Swords (wheel of time book 7) and loved it but now I'm taking a short break from the series.

Currently reading Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton. Thrillers are not generally my cup of tea, but it's nice to read a fast paced book to break up the super long epic series.

Once that's done, I'm going to reread To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Haven't touched that book since middle school so I think it's time for a revisit.

No Dig by Charles Dowding

A vegetable gardening book emphasizing the merits of no dig growing.

In Nuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen. It’s about the fist 2 hours of a nuclear war. Probably the scariest book I’ve ever read.

• Just finished The Silmarillion, by Tolkien. Difficult to read but this is really a must read for better understanding of Tolkien universe. I, of course, read several times LOTR and the hobbit but first time for this one.
• Started The Gathering, by C.J. Tudor which was just published a few days ago.

Just started Dirge of Empire as a precursor to reading Disquiet Gods.

I’ve absolutely loved the Suneater books - I’ve still some of the short story collections to read as well

I started Southern Gods by John Horner Jacobs. Not really far enough to get a good feel for it yet, but I couldn't pass up a Lovecraftian-Southern-gothic-noir-horror kind of thing.

Crook Manifesto by Colson Whitehead.

Just started Admiral Hornblower In The West Indies yesterday. Finished off the Foundation series and am about to finish Hornblower, which is sad, but i am excited to get started on my next set of books for the year!
