This looks interesting. I haven't read much books about WW2, so should look it up. How are you enjoying the book?
MA Carrick’s Labyrinths Heart. Just came out this past week and is the last book in the Rook & Rose trilogy. Going to drag this out to savor the ending

Looks interesting. How are you liking the series?
I love the series and am enjoying the last book, though drawing it out to savor the ending to the trilogy
Just recently finished Prelude to Foundation by Isaac Asimov (amazing!) and now started Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikofsky (the sequel to fantastic Children of Time). I'm also listening to the (German) audio book of The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King, which is completely different than I expected, but I like it.
I'm reading Jack of Shadows to the kids.
Looked it up, looks interesting. How are you liking it?
Just finished Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City by K. J. Parker
I'm reading "Illuminae", the first book in the illuminae files series.
Nothing at the moment but around a week ago I finished Crime and Punishment. I didn't understand the ideas and themes it's praised for but I still enjoyed it just for the story and characters which is exactly what I expected when I decided to read it, thinking something like "come on, if it's a classic it's at very least just a good book" and I was pleased that that was correct.
I have it in my to-read pile for about a decade. I should read it one of these days.
If you wonder about translations, I never checked the original or other translations but I had no issues with Pevear&Volokhonsky
Thanks for the info. Will check it out.
I've finished a handful of things since last week's post, the current new ones are Chaos Choreography by Seanan McGuire & Fable The Balverine Order by Peter David. They aren't bad, but they aren't great either. Other than that, The Way of Kings and Resident Evil and still going, possibly forever.
