I just finished a re-read of Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells to coincide with the AppleTV show being released they work well for quite a few bingo squares with 5E Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and 1E Now a Major Motion Picture being the most prominent. I’m now working through the Amra Thetys series starting with The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble’s Braids by Michael McClung. I read the first book for a past bingo and really enjoyed it, so now I’m finishing the series. They work for the2A Independent Author bingo square for sure

Started a reading kick, finished 3 books so far, started a 4th.
Furiously Happy - Just a delight. Funniest book you’ll read about mental illness.

Bullet Train - Bought it because of the movie, only found out after the fact that it’s the 2nd book in a series.

Leslie F*cking Jones - Amazing read about her life and the inside baseball of stand up.

Started - The Book of Elsewhere - So far, the hardest nut to crack. A prose sequel to the BRZRKR comics, but those are so dynamic and visual, it’s hard to capture in words.
Finished shroud by Adrian tchavosky and it was kind of slow but I ended up wishing for a sequel.
Now almost done listening to Eversion by Alistair Reynolds and it’s a wild ride
WE ARE LEGION (We are Bob) - terrible name for a book. Actually enjoyable read.
My friend just gave me her copy of The Wind Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami, so I’m starting that now.
Just finished Mapping the Interior, which was a quick to read novella, highly recommend.
I am just under halfway through By the Sword by Mercedes Lackey. I’ve never read any of her stuff before, and I didn’t realize this was part of a much larger, ongoing setting, but I’m enjoying it as a lighter read about a woman rejecting courtly roles for women and going full mercenary, with magic and psychic stuff for which I don’t know the rules, and a magic sword with a mind of its own.
I only did one book per bingo card square, so this one is actually the the orange colour square - lots of orange leaves, and yellow-ish hair on the cover art.
I just finished reading Alias Grace, by Margaret Atwood, which I really enjoyed. I wrote a review on bookwyrm about this being a really insightful book on storytelling itself.
