I enjoy this weekly chat, allows me to get a glimpse of other people’s interests and approaches to reading. I am particularly fascinated by the people having a full stack of books they will soon be reading. That’s so different from how I usually choose my books. For me, it’s mostly a spur if the moment decision which new book to start, depending on my mood and my reading list. As an aside, this is for me one of the biggest pros of a kindle: I can download my next book as soon as I decide what it will be.

Anyway, I’m reading Stolen Focus, interesting and entertaining enough, but nothing much to write home about.

I am feeling so freaking better and am ready to read and post cats endlessly on here. I am on spinning silver still, but getting farther and having so much more energy than I did.

So glad to hear that you are feeling better!

I recently started reading Mort by Terry Pratchett and I’m loving it so far! I’ve read most of the other Discworld books, but somehow missed this one. I’m really enjoying the focus on Death as a character and the humor is -----ing good, as always. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here!

Death is one of my favourite characters in the series, Mort onwards.

That’s a fantastic one! I love the Death books. I’ll hop into Hogfather next month. Reaper man was pretty solid too, though I enjoyed Mort the most so far. I’m reading Small Gods at the moment and have done most of his Witches series. His books are so well crafted.

I love Small Gods! the copper roof skeptics were always my favorite.

Have you watched the Hog Father adaptation?

I just got and finished Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree very quickly and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a fitting prequel to Legends and Lattes.

I am going to be starting Tessa Miyata Is No Hero by Julie Abe since it seems pretty quick and then on to The Olympian Affair by Jim Butcher since that also just came out.
