Finished up To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini last week. Was a great read, a loooong book though. Just noticed that there is a prequel to the book so perhaps I will read that at some point, though it was not available at my library (at least as e-book).

Currently got nothing to read. And actually due to me being here instead of reddit I am cutting down on internet-time anyway so it would be a good time to start a new book. I have some ideas like Neuromancer, Slaughterhouse five, Project Hail Mary, The Forever War and Arrival but perhaps I'll find something completely different. I also read the Elder Race by Tchaikovsky a few months back and it was great, perhaps I'll read another one of their books next.

I'm reading (or rather listening to) The Royal Succession by Maurice Druon - it's a historical fiction series about the kings of France in the 14th century. I've really liked the series so far!

Currently halfway through Mercury Pictures Presents, and almost finished with a reread of EVE: The Burning Life.

I just read Uprooted, by Naomi Novik, simply because it was available with no wait time on Libby. What a great find! I devoured it in two days. It has a really nice take on folkloric fantasy and magic, and a nice satisfying arc that explains enough, while leaving a good amount of mystery.

About 50% through Witch King by Martha Wells, and am so far highly enjoying whatever is going on with this worldbuilding.

Essex Dogs. It's a historical fiction novel about a band of mercenaries aiding England's invasion of France in the 1300s. It's my palate cleanser after finished the third Stormlight Archives novel.

Feeling guilty that I’m stuck halfway through two different books: Beloved by Toni Morrison and A Bend in the River by V.S. Naipul.

Neither have really hooked me with their characters (the last book to do that was Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin) but both have undeniably pretty prose. Borrowed both books from friends, so I feel the urge to finish them in a way I never did with similarly pretty books. Looking at you, Infinite Jest, my beloved doorstop.

The Case for Space by Robert Zubrin. It's really good so far, it goes into such detail you can really tell the guy has spent his career and lifetime seriously thinking about how humans might live outside of Earth whether that be the Moon, Mars or the Asteroid Belt.

just finishing The Indifferent Stars Above about the Donner party - really great. these folks were built of different stock than we are.

I'm reading The Historian by Elizabeth Tova. It's been a difficult read because I have to actively fight the urge to skip ahead and see what happens—the story is so tense and stressful and I can't take it LOL.

A historic description of the life of Finnish executioners. Pretty dope stuff!

Currently trying to finish a book called Les protégés de Sainte Kinga (only available in French I'm afraid, it's recent and really obscure), the story mixes historical fiction with current-day crime fiction. The settings and scenario are interesting, but I'm not too fond of the writing style and the storytelling.

Beethoven: anguish and triumph by Jan Swafford. But I haven't advanced much yet

Twig by Wildbow. A long web-series about a group of experiments in the dystopic biopunk 20s Crown States of America

I’m reading a Star Trek novel called “Killing Time” by Della van Hise. The first edition is infamous because it got recalled for being too slash-y lol.

Currently reading/listening to the Dresden series, on White Night right now, listening while I travel for work and the books are great fun
