Very busy couple of weeks, so didn’t actually read anything.

Still on Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore, 2nd novel in Icewind Dale series, which is a subseries of Forgotten Realms series (D&D world).

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    I just finished The Grace Year by Kim Liggett and loved it, and am about to start Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology for my horror book club.

    Adrian Tchaikovsky’s latest: Shroud. So far, it hasn’t grabbed me in the same way that Children of Time did, but I’m enjoying it and am interested to see how the worldbuilding goes.

    The Sword and Shield, the history of the KGB. I’m nearly half way through it, it’s fascinating.

    Never Split the Difference, a reread of what is typically called the best negotiating book. I’ve not read one better.

    I’m reading The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan, the fourth book in The Wheel of Time series. I’m starting to get a bit sick of the characters, frankly. Petty, angry, dishonest liars most of them, looking to make the worst decisions for any given situation. I still like the book, oddly enough, but I wish the characters like, grow up sometime soon.

      I gave up near the beginning of this book. Just wasn’t enjoying it and didn’t relish the idea of spending hours and hours on something I wasn’t enjoying.

    Careless People - Satah Wynn-Williams

    Not only it is a fascinating look into Facebook, it touches me personally because I’m a Canadian female tech worker in a US based company and her perspective on a lot of thing is very relatable to me.

    Just finished The Will of the Many by James Islington. Fantastic book. Gonna be champing at the bit until the next one releases in November.

    Next up will be The Fifth Age, but I haven’t cracked it open yet. I will later tonight.

    Can’t believe I never got around to it on the first go-round, but Nick Hornby’s “High Fidelity.”

    Reading (listening to) War of the Noobs, and honestly it’s getting a bit stale. It didn’t hook or make me really laugh like earlier books on the series.

    Recently finished This Inevitable Ruin, and DCC is always a good time.

    Just finished Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos rising. Next up, the second in the series.

    It was such a great book. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series

        I will also say that the star wars books, from what I have seen, aren’t sequential. You can start anywhere in the universe and it doesn’t matter, notwithstanding the actual series books, like Thrawn series and whatever. It’s more like Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. It’s a bunch of independent stories set in the same universe.

            Not really. I’m pretty new to the Star Wars novels. I’ve literally read two, and they are both part of the same series. But FWIW, I am reading the Thrawn Ascendency series, and it’s pretty damn good.
