This was a very busy week for me, hardly got time to read 100 or so pages. Still reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of The Dresden Files.

What about all of you, what have you been reading?

MA Carrick’s Labyrinths Heart. Just came out this past week and is the last book in the Rook & Rose trilogy. Going to drag this out to savor the ending

MA Carrick

Looks interesting. How are you liking the series?

I love the series and am enjoying the last book, though drawing it out to savor the ending to the trilogy

I just started the Abroad in Japan book. Hopefully I find time to finish it. It’s a very busy week :)

Does the book has anything to do with YouTube channel of the same name?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, the youtube channel owner is the author.

Just started Empire of Storms (book 5 of Throne of Glass) by Sarah J Maas. Curious to what it will bring.

Just looked it up, but apparently there are multiple books with title Year Zero, which are you reading?

I've finished a handful of things since last week's post, the current new ones are Chaos Choreography by Seanan McGuire & Fable The Balverine Order by Peter David. They aren't bad, but they aren't great either. Other than that, The Way of Kings and Resident Evil and still going, possibly forever.

This looks interesting. I haven't read much books about WW2, so should look it up. How are you enjoying the book?

Nothing at the moment but around a week ago I finished Crime and Punishment. I didn't understand the ideas and themes it's praised for but I still enjoyed it just for the story and characters which is exactly what I expected when I decided to read it, thinking something like "come on, if it's a classic it's at very least just a good book" and I was pleased that that was correct.

I have it in my to-read pile for about a decade. I should read it one of these days.

If you wonder about translations, I never checked the original or other translations but I had no issues with Pevear&Volokhonsky

Thanks for the info. Will check it out.
