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?

@dresden Reading through Dungeon Crawler Carl for the second time. The audio-books are really great.

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.

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.
