This week flew by pretty quickly. Didn't even get time to read all the messages in last week's post...

Finished Valour's Choice by Tanya Huff. Book 1 of Confederation. Enjoyed the book, going to continue with the series, and may check some more of Tanya Huff's work too.

Read Jujitu Kaisen Vol. 5. Nothing much to say about that, more of a manga goodness.

Started Dark Moon by David Gemell, a standalone fantasy book. This is my first Gemell book and I am enjoying it. I am about 1/3rd of the way in, and the world-building feels like something that can sustain a trilogy or even a longer series.

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

I finished A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge about two weeks ago. I couldn’t find anywhere to rent the 3rd book, I haven’t heard the best things about it so I don’t want to buy.

So, I started Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks and am about 3/4ths of the way through. I’m reading before I fall asleep and sometimes the perspective shift makes think I dozed off and missed a key switch. But nope it’s just an instant complete perspective switch to another character/time. I’m still enjoying it but sometimes it gives me whiplash that I’m not a fan of here.
