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?

I’ve just finished Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris and now I’m on The Ferryman, by Justin Cronin.

I have heard The Ferryman mentioned a lot, would love to hear what you think about it.

Listening to Sexual Politics (1969) by Kate Millett.

There’s a part in chapter 2 (her theory of sexual politics) that, essentially, encapsulates the wedge we are witnessing now, 55 years later.

It’s wild that concepts and the attendant issues of sex, sexuality, gender, patriarchy, and human rights were so clearly described in the late 60s.

I felt something similar about reading some parts of 1984.

Will look it up.

I just finished theSword of justice series and am now on Way of the shadows series!

I have been recommended: Runelord, earthsea, and Dark fever series too. I would highly recommend Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. Great world building and I especially love how he writes the MCs curiosity and problem solving

Just started The Wheel of Time book 6, Lord of Chaos. Still enjoying this series but do wish Robert Jordan was less wordy sometimes. The prologue alone in this book was 50 pages.
