Didn’t get time to read at all this week, so still at the same place as last week.

  • Reading Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. A standalone sci-fi book.

Some of you may remember the post about Bingo card a little while back? Well, @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe are cooking something up, which we will unveil in upcoming weeks.

Stay tuned!


Without further ado, what have you been reading or listening lately?

  • 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.

I get lost in all the similar sounding names, and forget who is who. Thinking about keeping notes / make genealogy graph next time I start it.

Yes this is what is difficult, so many characters (and sometimes named differently based on the language). I had to use websites to help me keeping track.

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

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!

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.
