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?

Howling Dark by Christopher Ruocchio. It's a space epic. Pretty good so far. The first book is a bit of a slog but really picks up in the later 3rd. The second book is much better so far. Still kind of a slow read though. 80 short 10ish page chapters is a slowdown factor for me. If it was 15 to 20 pages it would be paced better imo.
