Still reading The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the series. I am more than halfway through, so should be able to finish it this week.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

There's a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven't started this year's Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are still 6 months remaining!

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

I've just started Aftermath by Craig Alanson, book 17 in the expeditionary force series. I've never read such a long series and it's been quite comforting to be with the same characters for so long, it's probably been almost an entire year since I started them. Lots of zany antics and fun, reminds me of Stargate SG1

I had to give up on that series after book 10. They all just became so formulaic, with the exact same plot, conflicts, and jokes every book. To be fair, all of that is very fun, and each book in a bubble is enjoyable, but just because I think a meal is great doesn't mean I want to eat it every day.

Reading everything by Victoria Goddard. I should stop, I'm close to ODing, but it's delicious.

I'm about halfway through The Turnglass by Gareth Rubin

Really not the sort of thing I'd normally read but I'm finding it very engrossing. Would recommend

Seven days in June. Decided to read it after seeing this video.

Not my usual read, bit gave it a try. Around 20% in and liking it

I’ve been listening to the bobiverse, by Dennis Taylor. I like the series about an ordinary guy who just happens to later be copied a few thousand times. ( hard science fiction)

The latest book was released this year, and while it can hold its own, I like the earlier books better. And the first book is one of my favorites
