Oh interesting, good to know. I'll plan to read them back to back when I get to them then!
How are you liking Murderbot?
I finished A Crown of Swords (wheel of time book 7) and loved it but now I'm taking a short break from the series.
Currently reading Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton. Thrillers are not generally my cup of tea, but it's nice to read a fast paced book to break up the super long epic series.
Once that's done, I'm going to reread To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Haven't touched that book since middle school so I think it's time for a revisit.
I've reached book 7 of The Wheel of Time (A Crown of Swords). I've enjoyed most of what I've read so far but definitely daunted by how much is still left (and having heard this is the start of the slog).
Just started The Wheel of Time book 6, Lord of Chaos. Still enjoying this series but do wish Robert Jordan was less wordy sometimes. The prologue alone in this book was 50 pages.
Finished The Fires of Heaven (Wheel of Time book 5). Put a hold on book 6 but haven't gotten it yet.
Meanwhile I've been reading The Facemaker by Lindsey Fitzharris. It's a non-fiction about the use and advances of plastic surgery in World War 1 to reconstruct soldiers' faces. It does not hold back in describing how brutal these injuries were, making it a tough read.
I like it a lot! The books are long (sometimes maybe longer than necessary), but the author is consistently managing to capture and hold my attention. Some things are predictable but there have also been twists that I didn't see coming. I can't wait to see how the characters will continue to grow and how the story will unravel.
I finished The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time book 8). Not a bad book, but definitely slow and uneventful compared to previous entries.
While I wait for the next book to become available, I've picked up Prince of Fools by Mark Lawrence (Red Queen's War book 1). This will be my fourth trilogy by him and I've loved them all so far.
