Bought couple of books for my young one, and just read through them.

  • Read Race to the Rescue By Zanib Mian, book 2 of her “Meet the Maliks - Twin Detective”. It’s kinda like The Wimpy Kid, but about twin Muslim kids and their family.
  • Read The Stonekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi. Book 1 of Amulet series. A 9 book series of graphic novels for kids.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening lately?

And how many of you are taking part in our Books Bingo? Any progress yet?

Just finished The gathering, by C.J. Tudor. Really loved it, through a vampire fantasy novel, she achieved to approach very actual and important topics like euthanasia, genocide, fear of difference, tolerance and so on. One of her best novel in my opinion.

Restarted on my Tolkien cycle with The hobbit (of course a reread in English - read the French translation about 25 years ago).

I’ve read the first couple chapters of Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre which I picked up after looking through the bingo thread.

I haven’t read any of her work before, and am enjoying it so far. I’m finding the prose pretty crisp and readable.

I first read her stuff when she did a bunch of early Star Trek and Star Wars books in the 80s-90s. I always loved her stuff. Great choice.

I’ve been way busier than I expected with the end of the school year coming up. I managed to finally start The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble’s Braids by Michael McClung though. It’s been near the top of my TBR list when someone recommended it alongside The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch as great thief/heist style books. And it works for a Bingo Square.

I’m not really far enough in to have an opinion though.

Just finished the final compendium of Invincible! Emotional journey through that series.

Currently reading “I, Robot” and “A Paradise of Small Houses” for two separate bookclubs.

Freedom Is A Constant Struggle by Angela Davis. It was on my TBR list for a while, and this current season of college protests against the war in Gaza makes it the perfect time to read it.
