  • Finished The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Book 2 of Confederation series. It took a long time to finish this, but I am still interested in the story.
  • Read Jujitu Kaisen: Vol. 6 by George Akutmi.
  • Read Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, first book of the Skyward (Cytoverse) series. Loved the book.
  • Currently reading Starsight by Brandon Sanderson, second book of Skyward (Cytoverse) series.

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

I've been working my way through the JD Kirk Scottish crime series. I've literally been reading a book per day, currently on the first book of the DI Heather Filson series, The One That Got Away.

Have you got round to the Bob Hoon books yet? If you can do audiobooks I'd highly recommend those; the narrator is brilliant at Hoon and the books are absolutely fucking hysterical

I’ve been doing them in Kirk’s reading order, so I read the Hoon books interleaved with the Logan ones.

I can’t abide audio books, so I’ll miss out on the narration.

My favourite paraphrased lines -

Female villain - "I'd ask you to join our organisation, Mr Hoon, but I know exactly what you'd say"

Hoon - "I'd say shove it up yer fish-hole, you badly-aimed batch of ejaculate"

Female villain - "Ok I admit I didn't know exactly what you'd say..."

His interactions with her were hilarious.

Wow, a book a day. And I just looked them up, they aren't small either.

What kind of books are these? Leaning towards mystery? or action? or something else?

[–] robolemmy 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They’re a mix of thriller and mystery, I guess, with a bit of humor thrown in.

Sounds interesting, will check them out.
