What book are you enjoying or not?

I’m currently reading, and loving, Aurora Burning which is book 2. Then it’s a 6- month wait for book 3.

Do you like it? I’ve been trying to get the audio for book 2 but it still isn’t released.

I really struggled with book one- the story sounded good, the narrator was good but I had zero interest. Keep wondering if I’d like it as a ‘reading’ book.

I enjoyed reading it, solid epic fantasy, but did feel a bit disconnected at times. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it in a continuous stretch.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I can’t understand why the audio is so late for book two :(

[Elise]

I finished Fugitive Telemetry yesterday. It was pretty good.

Starting The Black Tides of Heaven.

[Joseph]

Finished Flame and Crimson: A History of Sword-and-Sorcery and, for no particular reason, started The People of the Mist by H. Rider Haggard.

[Mary]

Team-Ups and Crossovers by Marion G. Harmon

[Mary]

Recursion by Marion G. Harmon

[Mary]

Repercussions by Marion G. Harmon

[Joseph]

In light of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition release (which I won't get to play until after I finish my current game), I started Mass Effect: Revelation by Drew Karpyshyn.

[Dhanusha]

Read Fatemarked because I needed something light after a bunch of lengthy epic fantasies. But boy was it good! Deciding what to read next

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Project Hail Mary was very entertaining.

[Tnkw01]

Finished The October Country. It was like The Twilight Zone in written form and I love it. It was easily a 5-star. Now I'm on to One Fine Fae

[Mary]

Flame and Crimson: A History of Sword-and-Sorcery by Brian Murphy

[Tnkw01]

Finished One Fine Fae. It was good, a 4 star. I started Dead Acre. It is really, really good.

[Elise]

I finished The Black Tides of Heaven. I liked it OK. I think it suffers one of the pitfalls of novellas where there’s a lack of development, and I didn’t fully understand its magic system, but it was unique.

After a while of deciding, I finally picked Trail of Lightning to read next. I’ve wanted to read it for a while.

[Mary]

How To Be a Tudor: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Tudor Life by Ruth Goodman

[Joseph]

After finishing a bunch of Mass Effect novels, I started Susanna Clarke's new one, Piranesi.

[Joseph]

And finished Piranesi (it was short) and decided to get a jump on next month's pick (I nominated it so I really do need to read it, right?), Blue Moon Rising.

[Mary]

How to Be a Victorian by Ruth Goodman

[Tnkw01]

I finished Dead Acre and it was great. Finished Djinn Unleashed and it'd basically porn and finally finished Tangle in the Dark, while the show is great this book is terrible. Now I'm reading another weird western in Deadman's Road. I'm really loving this book and this genre.

[Tnkw01]

Finished Deadman's Road. I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book. I have a feeling that some people will find this book offensive. I gave it a 3 star. I'm now on to Kraken.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]
