Finished Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. First half was pretty dense and slow, but second half, when things were getting obvious, and plans finally getting into motion, were very interesting, and was able to read them in just a few days.
It meets criteria for at least 3 different Bingo boxes, not sure where to place it. Would decide it later. ( @[email protected] We can do that right? Move them around different boxes after reading more books?)
Now I have just started Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It’s first of three novellas, which are between book 2 and 3. (Well, third novella is generally recommended to be read after book 3, but that’s a separate topic). It’s a small book, so hopefully will be able to finish it soon.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post
We will be unfeaturing those posts now, so they won’t be sticky on the top anymore. They will be mentioned in each weekly thread though, and you can also check them in community sidebar.
Currently going through the Ender quintet, and the Expeditionary Force.
I’m on book four of the Ender series, the first two were as good as I remember. 3 an 4 have taken some work. Can’t recommend buying them though as OSC is a… just the opposite of the message of the books.
Expeditionary Force is as samey as I remember. I read them as audiobooks at work so the pulp is quite welcome. Also, I’m on book 9 (not back to back reads), so while it’s formulaic I guess I’m not too bored of jerking in the shower jokes. I’d recommend the first one, but not as a series.
My last “work read” was the murder bot series, I binged my way through those, pretty good
I loved the Ender’s Game, but not rest of the series that much. Second book wasn’t bad, but it was very different from the first book, I wasn’t expecting that.
Murder bot series is getting lots of recommendations here these days. Would have to read them soon enough before they release it’s show and people spoil it for me.
