I'm on the third book in the Wayfarer Series by Becky Chambers. It's excellent 👌

Everything by Martha Wells. I'm into fantasy more than sci-fi, but Murderbot Diaries got me started. Loved Witch King, and I'm now reading through the Ile-Rien series. I'd say her more recent work is her best but I'm enjoying the older stuff a lot.

Yesterday, finished Stephen Markley's The Deluge, a great read and a tremendous effort - highly recommend it.

The Deluge is a speculative fiction novel that focuses on the sociopolitical, economic, and ecological development of a series of catastrophic personal and global events stretching from the late 2010s with the narrative concluding around the late 2030s.

It's a longer novel, around 800 pages, if you prefer something more compact Markley's previous novel Ohio is terrific as well.

I’ve been on a reread of the eragon series, which I haven’t read since they came out. So like 20ish years from book one

Book 5 is coming out in a few months.

Loved these books when I was younger. Still very much love it.

I've been trying to get through A Memory Called Empire for like 2 years now. I keep hearing how good it is l, but I'm maybe halfway through and I feel like the story has been slow going, and the poetry thing is weird too. It is very well written though. Maybe someone has something encouraging to say about it

I'm halfway through Gaiman's American Gods and then I'm going to complete my journey though The Culture with The Hydrogen Sonata.
