    Currently re-reading Matter by Iain M. Banks. The Culture books just get better and better as they go on.

    I just finished Tatouine by Jean-Christophe Réhel.

    I LOVED this book. It was written from the first person POV and tons of pop culture references but I was really sucked in and enjoyed the read.

    I’ve recently stopped reading book three of the Malazan series and don’t actually know why tbh. Kinda bored me after binging the first two books.

    I started the Way Of Kings just yesterday though. What a weird world Brandon Sanderson crafted there.

    Currently reading Man in the High Castle, and also Scythe since I saw it on a friend’s bookshelf and am always looking for something new to read while waiting for more malazan books (can’t commit to another reread right now).

    I have 5-20 minutes between calls at my work, so I’ve had plenty of time to sneak in some books on the clock.

    I’ve been rereading through the Cosmere, so Mistborn eras 1+2, Warbreaker, and I’m currently reading Elantris.

    To-read is Tress of the Emerald sea, then I probably should go for a non-fiction book to feel more enightened

    The Three Body Problem saga, I just finished the first book. I’m enjoying this as much as I enjoyed DUNE

      Good stuff! Im reading the third book now. The saga is outstanding sci-fi and I very much recommend it. It is close to being as good as Foundation - however it is still far from being as great as Dune imo.

      I finished Three Body not too long ago. A lot of people didn’t like the fan-written 4th one as much. But if you like Dune, I think you might enjoy it. Cause shit gets weird.

    Just finished the first three books of the Locked Tomb trilogy by Tamsin Muir (4th book out soon lol). Great storyline, interesting concept of Necromancers in space.

    Also just finished Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson. Fun book kinda short.

    Currently reading Altered Carbon by Richard K Morgan.

      I’m halfway through reading Nona the Ninth right now and I’m absolutely loving it! Her perspective is hilarious

    Reading Stalking Darkness, by Lynn Flewelling. 2nd book of the Nightrunner series. Up next is the rest of the series! :P This is my 2nd read through. After that, I’m planning to re-reading a few Mercedes Lackey books before finally reading the newest one. Might just hop into the newest one if I get impatient though.

    “Echoes of the Great Song” - David Gemmell. A rare standalone scifi/fantasy novel. I read Legend a few years ago and enjoyed it so much that I’m now reading every book Gemmell ever wrote. Saving the Troy books for last (appropriately). Though some are better than others there’s not a single bad book in his entire oeuvre.
