    I have been working through the short stories in the 1st Thieves’ World Anthology. It’s easily been on my TBR list since the 90’s from when I read one of the follow up books about one of the characters, Shadowspawn. If I manage to get through that before the next post, I’m either going to go on to Gulliver’s Travels or start the Zelda Twilight, Princess Manga.

    I don’t know this thread format, so I’m gonna keep it short.

    Finished Azarinth Healer Book 3 yesterday. Gonna start on the last book in the Expeditionary Force series today.

      You did great it’s really just a spot for you to freeform discuss what you’ve been reading either just as a straight bulleted list or if you wanted to give some feedback as to how you felt about what you’ve been reading that’s OK too it’s very relaxed. It also gives other people an opportunity to ask questions if they see you read something they’re interested in.

      I loved Expeditionary Force, and had no idea he was actually ending the series.

      Is Azarinth any good? I like LitRPG stuff but in my experience the public ratings are pretty unreliable. Some of the things the community will find interesting veer way too sociopathic for my tastes.

        He was, but decided he lovede his characters too much to quit. Seems like there will be even more books after this last one.

        Azarinth Healer is higly progression oriented with lots of fighting, but it has heart with investment in long term character relations and fellowship.

    I’m most of the way through Murtagh by Christopher Paolini. And then I think I’ll be starting The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

    I walked into a random bookstore and got advised to read “Rossignol” by Audrey Pleynet. As far as I know it has only been published in French, but I hope this is going to change.

    It’s a short read, but absolutely amazing. A woman is on the run, and mixes memories of her past in a futuristic space station to flashes of her escape. Only slowly do all the pieces fall together, creating a tale with many emotions, strange characters and glimpses of a lively mixed station where all are welcome, but where tensions between groups are rising.

    I loved it for the deep characterization of the main character, while all others are just fast drafts. I loved it for the sci-fi and the politics and the action.

    I started it yesterday and already finished it.

    Working my way through book 12 of the Serge Storm mysteries by Tim Dorsey, Gator a-go-go. Who doesn’t like a comedic series about serial killer.
