I just finished a re-read of Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells to coincide with the AppleTV show being released they work well for quite a few bingo squares with 5E Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and 1E Now a Major Motion Picture being the most prominent. I’m now working through the Amra Thetys series starting with The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble's Braids by Michael McClung. I read the first book for a past bingo and really enjoyed it, so now I'm finishing the series. They work for the2A Independent Author bingo square for sure

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

I know a show is never going to be true to the book. There will always be changes because some things that work well in text won't work in visual media and vice versa. I have been super happy with the show so far.
