Didn’t get time to read at all this week, so still at the same place as last week.

  • Reading Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. A standalone sci-fi book.

Some of you may remember the post about Bingo card a little while back? Well, @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe are cooking something up, which we will unveil in upcoming weeks.

Stay tuned!

Without further ado, what have you been reading or listening lately?

    I discovered Tim Powers way too late and his stories are super great.

    I’m chugging along with Murderbot, I finished up through Network Effect and am on to Fugitive Telemetry and then System Collapse. I realized I had those two swapped in order in my Kobo halfway through reading them. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Edit: maybe not swapped? Every Goodreads and Fantastic Fiction both show Network Effect before. ¯\(ツ)/¯

    Edit 2: written after but per https://www.marthawells.com/murderbot.htm set before.

    I’m not sure where I’ll go next yet, maybe further into Theodora Gross’s Athena Club books. I stared that for a past bingo and ended up enjoying the 1st book. I’m super excited for our bingo to start, but I could be biased.

        I am enjoying it. I understand I think why they were split, but the 1st 2 novellas really should be read as 2 parts of the same book, imho. You need to see what Murderbot does with their new independence.

          Oh interesting, good to know. I’ll plan to read them back to back when I get to them then!
