I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

Brushfire by Craig Alanson.
Expeditionary Force might not be the ebst book series, later books are repetetive and predictable - but despite that it is still so much fun to read.

I've just finished Wool as well! Shift is off to a good start too. I've been watching the Apple show as it comes out but it differs from the books more than I though it would (especially in the latest episode).

I definitely recommend Dennis E. Taylor's work if you haven't read any. The Bobiverse and Outland collections are both excellent.

I'm reading Thrawn: Traitor (Thrawn Canon books #3). Not the greatest series I've ever read by any means but I need a break from the Stormlight Archives and my library had no wait on these.

Reading the Wool as well, but it's too hot here to concentrate on more than one or two pages at a time. :)

(NEVER trust a person selling you a property. They can bullshit even the smallest inconsequential details, like the ability of your heat pump to work in reverse, to cool the house down)

The TV show is nice, but it's moving pretty slow. And I feel like it's just going to get killed before any kind of conclusion is reached, that's why I started with the book.

I'm currently reading The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott. It's part of the High Republic saga of Star Wars, and I'm really enjoying it so far :D

It was quite a challenge to read a book in English for the first time with Light of the Jedi (the first book of the series). But I feel like I've gotten way better and can now understand more while reading faster.

After this, I'm planning on reading The Prince of Milk by Exurb1a. Which I have wanted to read for a long time.

Currently reading Judas Unchained by Peter F. Hamilton. It's the sequel to Pandora's Star.

Imagine if humans developed wormhole technology to travel to other states systems instantly and abandoned space travel. Very fun read. It has a wide spread of characters and settings so it can get a bit confusing at times.
