Hey y'all!

I recently had a vacation to Boston and devoured 16 books while I was there. (I love visiting parks in new places and settling down for a few hours to read) It made me curious, any books y'all are in the middle of reading or recently finished? I'll list the current three I am going through as I tend to be reading multiple and kinda switching them up throughout the day.

'A Century of Queer Korean Fiction.' https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/137881334-a-century-of-queer-korean-fiction

'The Midnight Library' https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52578297-the-midnight-library

'A Memory Called Empire' https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37794149-a-memory-called-empire

Those are my current 3 open on my e-reader right now. I have a few more on my to-be-read list for this month that I am going to try to get to if my health keeps up. So, what have y'all read/are reading? :3

Diverse taste - nice. I've enjoyed the first five in the Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells as light entertainment. The Apple TV series based on the first book is out today - plan to watch ep 1 tonight. They're far lighter and shorter than the books you've linked above, but fun. Another even shorter book I enjoyed far more than I expected to was The Old Man and The Sea. Will read more Hemmingway; there's obviously a reason people like his writing.

A longer and less mainstream sci-fi book that I really liked recently was Anathem by Neal Stephenson. It's not new. Also Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. Away from sci-fi stuff I recently enjoyed Mick Herron's Slough House/Slow Horses books, some Agatha Christie Poirot novels and Emily Wilson's translation of Homer's Odyssey is just brilliant.

Nice picks! I really enjoyed Ancillary Justice when I read a few years back!


Ex Force (just dropped a new book)

SpellMonger (read these multiple times)

Mistborn (or anything Brandon Sanderson)
Sweet! The Spellmonger series is one of my favorites. Started off really really weak but the author has improved so much over the series, especially after the second book.
