Reading Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. The premise is pretty interesting, can’t wait to see where he takes it.
As mentioned last week, @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe are working on something related to Bingo card for books.
Keep your eyes peeled, just one week (or so) to go.
Also, welcome @JaymesRS@literature.cafe as a newly minted mod of this community!

Mort by Pratchett. I can’t believe it took me this long to actually get into Discworld.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
That was in Death’s voice.
Men In Arms by Terry Pratchett.
I finished up the current Murderbot books and am working on some short stories and novellas by Ursula K Le Guin (The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas) and T Kingfisher (Minor Mage, Illuminations)
Is the series still going on? Or has it finished?
The author has indicated that there will be more on the way and it’s definitely not reached a point one could call concluded. But I don’t know anything beyond that.
Ahan. Thanks for the info!
Last chance to see by Douglas Adams

Interesting.
Just checked, the book is part of a series, but they are all in different places. Is the story in the books linked or just different books linked due to historical fiction genre?

Ah okay. Thanks for the info.
Still trying to finish:
- Slewfoot (book)
- Eleanor is completely fine (book)
- Haite Kudasai (manga)
But university/ thesis is wrecking my time and in the weekends feel a bit to tired to read.
University / thesis are important. Don’t worry about the other stuff, it will be here when you are finished with those.
Just about finished with Emperor of Ruin by Django Wexler. It’s fun, escapist fantasy. Decent characters and decent story, even if it is the over-troped “only this small band of ragtag individuals can save the entire world from a supremely powerful magician.” It’s the 4th and final book in the series, so there is no sitting around waiting for the next one.
Reading English, August by Upamanyu Chatterjee and listening to Jane Eyre.
Reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Already read Pride and Prejudice and loved it, feeling good about this one.
Jurassic Park (the book) - first time reading it after watching the movie multiple times.
Interesting. How are you liking it so far?
Very interesting and different in some ways than the movie.
Finished Southern Gods from last week on Sunday (it was ok), and spent last night picking out something new. Ended up with Stargazy Pie by Victoria Goddard, which seems pleasantly light and cozy so far; should be just about long enough to last a week.
Also, grats Jaymes!
Act Of Oblivion by Robert Harris.
State and revolution by Vladimir Lenin (its his birthday)
Society of the spectacle by Guy Debord (not his birthday 😔)
Not mine either. 😞
Currently listening to Star Wars Outbound Flight. The reader/speaker isn’t a good one.
I am not familiar with Star Wars novels. What is this about?
A Jedi master is like, we should expand outside of the current galaxy and into other galaxies. Political and military kerfuffles ensue.
It is now classified as Legends and no longer canon since the Disney purchase of Lucas. It took place between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones films.
Yeah, heard about “Legends” stuff when Disney bought it. Ignoring the narrator / speaker, how’s the book?
It’s been alright so far.

How are you liking the series?
I have A, B, F and L. Thinking about starting reading A is for Alibi soon, and if I like it, start collecting the rest of the series.
