Thread: The Last Book I Read...

  1. #21
    I finished Allegiant, and hated it for the most part.

    Currently reading Four by Veronica Roth, the shorter book in the series, before I sell all of them.

    Just started Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder, the second book in the trilogy. I loved Poison Study, so I'm excited about this one.

    Phasma.

    It was a lot of fun, and nice to get back into a Star Wars novel since forever ago.

    That is so not fucking fair.
    Also, I have only read the first of those yet but oh my god it was soooo good.

    So, not done right now because I use it as "I am laying in a bath and need a story told to me" but the audio book version of Ahsoka is a delight, mostly because Ashley is the reader and it's like listening to old lady Tano tell bed time stories with voices and all. Can't recommend enough for the fun of it, really.

    Also I'm sloooowwwlyyy (because I don't want it to be over and have to wait again) making my way through Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson because the Stormlight Archives' lore is just mind breaking and fantastic and jesus christ can this man world-build. After this I need to convince myself to go read some other author rather than diving back in to the Mistborn books I haven't read yet.

    Last books I read were 'Anxiety as an Ally' by Dan Ryckhert and 'The October Man' by Ben Aaronovitch.

    I'm part way through 'Gideon the Ninth' by Tamsyn Muir, which is proving to be a fucking delight (Sarah, I bet you would love it!)

    Reading it's about Necromancers and this line "Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit." I'm so in.

    This morning I finished 'To Be Taught, If Fortunate' by Becky Chambers, who wrote the Wayfarers series (Long Way To A Small Angry Planet, etc). It both was and wasn't like the other books I've read by her. Much more rooted in the world as we know it, but still that kind of... hopeful scifi I've come to expect from her.

    This week I also read 'The Monster of Elendhaven', which feels a bit like something V E Schwaab might write, and also kind of like it's set in the Dishonoured universe. It wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be.. probably could have done with being a couple hundred pages longer.

    Also

    Everyone read this book! So good.

    Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince
    Becoming (Michelle Obama)
    Worlds Without End (Follett)

    They're all kinda going on at once, depending on where I am and what I have time to read.

    Finally reading Rebel Rising by Beth Revis. I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I love learning more about Jyn Erso.

    'Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful' by Arwen Elys Dayton

    Set in our world, spanning the near to distant futures, Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful is a novel made up of six interconnected stories that ask how far we will go to remake ourselves into the perfect human specimens, and how hard that will push the definition of "human."
    Interesting stuff! This is accidentally the second book this month I've read about genetic manipulation, although with a much less hopeful feel than 'To Be Taught, If Fortunate'.

    flying a starship is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put smashball cards in the spokes!
