I just finished a re-read of Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells to coincide with the AppleTV show being released they work well for quite a few bingo squares with 5E Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and 1E Now a Major Motion Picture being the most prominent. I’m now working through the Amra Thetys series starting with The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble's Braids by Michael McClung. I read the first book for a past bingo and really enjoyed it, so now I'm finishing the series. They work for the2A Independent Author bingo square for sure

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

Started a reading kick, finished 3 books so far, started a 4th.

Furiously Happy - Just a delight. Funniest book you'll read about mental illness.

Bullet Train - Bought it because of the movie, only found out after the fact that it's the 2nd book in a series.

Leslie F*cking Jones - Amazing read about her life and the inside baseball of stand up.

Started - The Book of Elsewhere - So far, the hardest nut to crack. A prose sequel to the BRZRKR comics, but those are so dynamic and visual, it's hard to capture in words.
