I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.

It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

I'm currently reading Fool's Fate, the third in the Tawny Man trilogy, which itself is the 3rd trilogy in the Realm of the Elderlings sequence by Robin Hobb. I've loved every book so far and this is no exception although

I'm still grieving Nighteyes

Poor Fitz has had a shit life so far. I'm hoping he gets some sort of happiness before the end of this one.

I'm on the 3rd Liveship Traders book by her right now. So 6 books deep into Elderlings with no plans on stopping. Robin Hobb is a complete genius at character writing.

Working my way through He Who Fights with Monsters by Shirtaloon (aka Travis Deverell), currently on Book 7.

Currently about a third of the way through "Babel: Or, The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Translator's Rebellion" by R.F. Kuang.

It's pretty good so far, but also I'm really still waiting for the plot to kick into gear, lots of wonderful world building has been taking place so far.

Also, you and I have the same Kobo! I'm a fan of this device, and haven't read a physical book since last June.

Hey I have The Wager in my list, but right now I'm reading The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber, it's excellent. Going really slow because it contains so much information, I read a few pages and that sends me in a research spiral for an hour and a thoughts spirals for the day.

I just finished Lieutenant Hornblower and am thoroughly enjoying the series. I’ll be starting Hornblower and the Hotspur soon.
