Copying from the weekly thread, over at !books@lemmy.world :

Finished Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. Fourth book of The Dresden Files. Things keep getting worse, stakes keep getting higher, Harry keep going through hell. Same old, same old.

Currently Reading Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King. It was recommended on reddit for books similar to the comic Y: The Last Man. I didn’t used to like Stephen King much before, but I can understand why. Book is 700 pages long, and first 100 or so pages were pretty much just a set up. I didn’t use to have patience for such slow books in my youth, though I am enjoying it now.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

P.S: I have mentioned the !books@lemmy.world (and the weekly thread) a few times here. Didn’t see any rules against that, and am just trying to increase engagement for books-related communities, but if there’s any issue with that, I can stop doing it. (Disclaimer, I am a mod there)

    Yeah, looking up just makes me forget authors until I see them years later … So yeah, happy to finally have found it ;)

    And considering the authors of far reaches you listed, you should really check out ann leckie and her ancillary justice series, probably one of my favorite series in the last 10 years
