This week flew by pretty quickly. Didn’t even get time to read all the messages in last week’s post…
Finished Valour’s Choice by Tanya Huff. Book 1 of Confederation. Enjoyed the book, going to continue with the series, and may check some more of Tanya Huff’s work too.
Read Jujitu Kaisen Vol. 5. Nothing much to say about that, more of a manga goodness.
Started Dark Moon by David Gemell, a standalone fantasy book. This is my first Gemell book and I am enjoying it. I am about 1/3rd of the way in, and the world-building feels like something that can sustain a trilogy or even a longer series.
What about all of you? What have been reading or listening?
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
I’m still on Wheel of Time book 3 (The Dragon Reborn). I’ll probably finish it this week and move on to… book 4 lol. Trying to keep my momentum up as long as I can. Helps that I’ve been really enjoying the story so far.
Well, everyone is different, but it’s a long series, just don’t burn out on it. My method these days is to add lighter / something completely different in-between, but if this is how you enjoy reading, then binge on!
Yeah historically I’ve just binged through series but I’ve never read one so long and am a bit worried about it. I plan to join a monthly book club run by my library starting next month so that will force me to break things up (and push me away from reading almost exclusively fantasy). Hopefully it helps!
Been progressing through The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner. I’m on the penultimate book of the series, Thick As Thieves. I did take a short detour to read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
I’ve started JD Kirk’s Bob Hoon series
I really liked The Dublin Trilogy, and this is kinda like the Scottish version of that, but waaaay more sweary and violent
Bob makes me actually lol at least once a chapter
I finished A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge about two weeks ago. I couldn’t find anywhere to rent the 3rd book, I haven’t heard the best things about it so I don’t want to buy.
So, I started Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks and am about 3/4ths of the way through. I’m reading before I fall asleep and sometimes the perspective shift makes think I dozed off and missed a key switch. But nope it’s just an instant complete perspective switch to another character/time. I’m still enjoying it but sometimes it gives me whiplash that I’m not a fan of here.
