Reading The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Book 2 of Confederation series. Life has been pretty busy lately, so this one is taking quite a while to finish.
What about all of you? Which books have you been reading or listening lately?
The Stone Sky by N. K. Jemisin. This is the 3rd book in the Broken Earth series, which have all been fun to read.
The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories by Isaac Asimov. One of the many collections of short stories that originally appeared in periodicals of the 1950’s-1970’s.
His exploration of an intuitive AGI through a misogynistic lens of the late 1960’s in Feminine Intuition was interesting.
The story Waterclap, about the struggles of an engineer from Lunar City on the moon against the deep sea colony of Ocean-Deep with a tone of social commentary about conspiracy and lack of long term human planning were also interesting perspectives to ponder, especially when considering this was written in 1969.
84K by Claire North. It’s a dystopian novel about corporatization of government.
At first glance that might sound generic, but she’s an incredible writer, and really makes the world she created come alive.
I’m finishing up Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik today and will start Kill the Farm Boy by Kevin Herne and Delilah S. Dawson. It’s the last item for my r/Fantasy BINGO card I started last year and due before April 1st.
We just started the audiobook of Peter B Brett’s The Warded Man. I had read it before, but it’s my Lady’s first time with it.
I remember tiring of the series eventually, but I also think there were fewer books back then. So far it’s thoroughly entertaining.
