      How are you liking it? Have heard good things about it, so have been thinking about getting it soon.

        It was good and held my attention. Pace and dialogue felt right and the mystery didn’t feel too cliche. I was dumb and read the plot for the next two books so I’m not as eager to continue, but I am looking forward to how the next season of the TV series goes.

          I have heard the TV season diverges somewhat from the book. Though I haven’t watched the show or read the book yet, so no idea about it.

    Listening to Paradise Lost by John Milton and No Gods for Drowning by Hailey Piper. Though, I’ll probably be working on Paradise Lost for a while because I have to be in the right mind set for it; it’s hard to multitask listening to that one 😅

    Dresden!

    Just finished the First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. Great book with a great take on time travel - highly recommend if you haven’t read it.

    The Cytoverse books are great - I haven’t read the last one yet (even though I preordered it haha)

    Just finishing “The Churn” before I start Expanse #5

    I just preordered Stormlight 5 so a Stormlight Archives reread might be happening soon.

      Logan!

      I have seen First Fifteen Lives of Harry August mentioned before, I think. Added to my wishlist!

      I actually got first two Cytoverse books in 2021, was waiting for the series to complete before starting it. Started it as soon as I ordered Defiant last week.

      Still enjoying Expanse? I may start it after finishing Cytoverse and Confederation series.

      I don’t think I’ll be getting around to Stormlight 5 anytime soon. Need to re-read all the books, and it feels a bit overwhelming, specially with the amount of free time I have these days. Maybe later this year.

        I have been loving the expanse!

        Book 4 was so well done and book 5 was so fun getting a look under the hood with the other crew on the Rocinante.

        The Expanse gets recommended in the same breath as Red Rising all the time but I just don’t see it. Red Rising is more hot and cold, like an action movie. The Expanse is like watching the Sopranos or… Se7en

        15 Lives is a good read and a standalone novel. I like it when something is good and isn’t a 3+ book commitment.
