Martha Wells - Star Wars “Razors Edge”.
It’s a story with the the main cast; Leia, Luke, Han and Chewie.
I’m enjoying it, starts right off with action and hasn’t really let off the gas pedal yet.

Recently started We Were Eight Years in Power by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It feels quite apt in the current moment.
Ah really want to read something by him, I always like his no bullshit perspectives in interviews.
I think I've been a bit unfair to Coates in the past because I've felt like, outside of "The Case for Reparations" his writing reads like "James Baldwin-light". But I think he listens to criticism and I want to go back and finish Eight Years (I DNF'd it after re-reading the Reparations chapter) and read his new book The Message.
Brandon Sanderson's Oathbringer
Journey before destination 🫡
Prophet of Discontent by Douglas and Loggins.
It's about MLK and his place in the tradition of American black radical thought. It's pretty academic and dives straight into the race/class Marxist discourse. Which is catnip for weirdos like me.
Getting back into reading with laundry files
Continuing to chop through the novels in my son's homeschool curriculum, I'm working my way through Enchantress of the Stars by Sylvia Engdahl. Really good book!
I also have on deck Shrapnel #10 (the Battletech magazine), Problem Prospecting!? (reading up on salesweasel stuff for work), and The Five Dysfunctions of a Team (recommended by a friend).
I just finished Perchance to Dream by Howard Weinstein. It’s the first Star Trek novel I’ve ever read and I went with TNG because it’s my favorite series. I really enjoyed the book and loved how I could hear the voices of Picard, Geordie, Worf, Tori, Riker, all of them in my head. I have mild aphantasia so books based on characters from shows and movies I have watched are a lot easier for me to picture.
I’m currently going through the September/October 2024 Asimov’s Science Fiction periodical that I paused last year. Nice scifi short stories, poems, and novelettes to read until my next book.
On that note, my next book is my vacation book. I had 2 I was thinking of reading, but decided on Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik. I really enjoyed her Starlight’s Shadow series, so when I saw space princess and outlaw soldier romance, I said YES PLEASE!! Please give me more science fiction/space opera romance!
Just finished Daily Life Of Women In Ancient Rome. Uncertain what I'll move on to next.
I’ve finished Takaoka’s Travels and Feminist point of view (not sure of the title in English, which were on deconstructing the male gaze in the cinema)
Starting the tirs book of the Nexus trilogy
The Jewish pirates of the Caribbean by Edward Kritzler
Just finished my 2nd listen of Handmaids Tale. I'm rinsing myself off with some Discworld.
Next up will be A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny. I got turned onto it last year and it became an annual tradition instantly. It's 31 chapters (short ones) and you do one a day starting on the 1st.
