Freedom Is A Constant Struggle by Angela Davis. It was on my TBR list for a while, and this current season of college protests against the war in Gaza makes it the perfect time to read it.

I’ve been way busier than I expected with the end of the school year coming up. I managed to finally start The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble’s Braids by Michael McClung though. It’s been near the top of my TBR list when someone recommended it alongside The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch as great thief/heist style books. And it works for a Bingo Square.
I’m not really far enough in to have an opinion though.
Look to Windward by Iain M. Banks. Space opera at its best.
Just finished the final compendium of Invincible! Emotional journey through that series.
Currently reading "I, Robot" and "A Paradise of Small Houses" for two separate bookclubs.
@dresden Reading through Dungeon Crawler Carl for the second time. The audio-books are really great.
I've read the first couple chapters of Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre which I picked up after looking through the bingo thread.
I haven't read any of her work before, and am enjoying it so far. I'm finding the prose pretty crisp and readable.
I first read her stuff when she did a bunch of early Star Trek and Star Wars books in the 80s-90s. I always loved her stuff. Great choice.
I just started reading Sight Unseen by Kasha Thompson. It's not my usual type of book but I want to join a book club and that's what my chosen club is reading right now. I don't mind, I'm always excited about the possibility of discovering something new to enjoy.
I am 10% into Lonesome Dove. Many people swear by it and to me has East of Eden vibes. I find the story a little slow but then there were a couple of scenes (all of which involved pigs) that made me laugh out loud. So far - worth it.
Powered through the second half of Stargazy Pie over the weekend. Tentatively starting ~~Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers~~ A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. LeGuin tonight for bingo.
Just finished The gathering, by C.J. Tudor. Really loved it, through a vampire fantasy novel, she achieved to approach very actual and important topics like euthanasia, genocide, fear of difference, tolerance and so on. One of her best novel in my opinion.
Restarted on my Tolkien cycle with The hobbit (of course a reread in English - read the French translation about 25 years ago).
