Adrian Tchaikovsky's latest: Shroud. So far, it hasn't grabbed me in the same way that Children of Time did, but I'm enjoying it and am interested to see how the worldbuilding goes.

Currently in the middle of house of chains by Steven Erikson.
How are you liking the series?
I do enjoy the series a lot, but I would be lying if I said I find it relaxing. The world building is almost realistic, and as such it becomes quite the task to keep track of all the characters, races and the history of it all. I almost always have the Malazan wiki at hand so I can do some research.

Just finished The Will of the Many by James Islington. Fantastic book. Gonna be champing at the bit until the next one releases in November.
Next up will be The Fifth Age, but I haven't cracked it open yet. I will later tonight.
Not Till We Are Lost
Latest book in the bobiverse.
Great book!
I just finished reading Dilla Time by Dan Charnas- it’s a must read if you’re a disciple of J Dilla.
I’m currently listening to War and Peace by Tolstoy
Lonesome Dove on audiobook. The production quality is pretty bad, but the story is good.
Listening to the Salvation sequence by Peter F Hamilton.
And reading, A most elegant equation by David Stipp.
Reading (listening to) War of the Noobs, and honestly it's getting a bit stale. It didn't hook or make me really laugh like earlier books on the series.
Recently finished This Inevitable Ruin, and DCC is always a good time.
Just started The Orb of Cairado by Katherine Addison, as a palate cleanser. I expect it'll be cozy.
Finished Fever House by Ken Rosson. This started very fast-paced, but (imo) got bogged down by (interesting) flashbacks. I enjoyed it, but would have liked it to be shorter, somehow. Not sure I'll read the sequel, since this one swerved into a sub-genre I don't usually go for.
I just finished The Grace Year by Kim Liggett and loved it, and am about to start Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology for my horror book club.
The Sword and Shield, the history of the KGB. I'm nearly half way through it, it's fascinating.
Never Split the Difference, a reread of what is typically called the best negotiating book. I've not read one better.
Can't believe I never got around to it on the first go-round, but Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity."
