Been reading a bit more lately. - Started The Poppy War Trilogy, by R.F Kuang, but stopped after finishing the second book, didn't feel compelled to read further. - Finished This is how you lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladston. Had a good time with that. Very short. - Finished Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Had a blast with that. - Finished The Will of the Many by James Islington. Had my gripes all throughout, but the end did leave me wanting to know more. So I'll get the sequel when it emerges. - Finished The Book that Wouldn't Burn and The Book that Broke the World both by Mark Lawrence. I had initially sworn off Mark Lawrence's stuff after struggling through one of his early, edgy books. But these were fun. They didn't go in the direction I was expecting, at points, but good fun. Will be keen to read the final one when it's ready. - Finished The Fisherman by John Langan. Was in need of a horror, and I think that fit the bill. - Finished The Three Body Problem but haven't gotten to the rest of the series. - Finished The Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne. It was cool, I can get invested pretty easily into things but it definitely had some issues. I think it was clear that was his debut series, he's gotten noticeably tighter with his stories since. - Finished The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, as a part of the book club I'm in. Was cool. Historical Fiction isn't usually my jam but that's the joy of the book club! Throwing stuff my way I'd not normally delve into. - Re-read Downunder by Bill Bryson. It's just really funny and entertaining, felt like dipping back into it. Currently reading The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm 80 pages in and I've laughed out loud, but also felt compelled to skip entire sections because they're just aggressive lore-dumps, jammed into an already set scene. I'll see if this continues, if it does, I might stop while I'm ahead. My friend got me onto the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, so might give those a hoon at some point.
