    Read the first four "Way of Kings" books by Sanderson last year. So good!
    Trying to support my wife's Romantasy hobby now, and I'm reading "Assistant to the Villain". Not bad so far.

      King of Ashes by S. A. Cosby

      It was and excellent book and I'd highly recommend it. If you are an audiobook person this was one of the best narrators I've heard in a while.

          Yes, I wrote 25 or so articles that were published in almost all the different publications at that time. They needed lots of filler for between the pictures and ads.

          I am re-reading 'Ilium' by Dan Simmons. I had thought about re-reading it, and it's sequel 'Olympos', earlier this year . . . but then remembered that my old kindle keyboard had finally died and the only versions I owned were for that medium. And then the author died - so I bought myself a refurb Kindle paperwhite because I knew I needed to re-read them now.

          long winded way to say I am re-reading one of my favorite 2 book sci-fi series.

          as for dead tree press stuff - my Mom continues to go through stuff in her house and mail things out to me. She just found this and sent it along my way

            My local library has this big "Get Your Banned Books Here!" sign. I was really tempted to ask for this, Expedient Homemade Firearms, and a few other such very difficult to obtain books.

          Never been much of a reader as an adult. On Tuesday my wife got me to start Dungeon Crawler Carl, and I enjoyed it thoroughly and I plowed through it. Now I'm over half done with the 2nd book in the series Carl's Doomsday Scenario.

            Decided to check this out on your recommendation. I’m on book 3. Enjoying it. First book I bought was soft cover but damn are the books expensive. Turns out it’s free on Kindle Unlimited so flying through the books.

            I finished Edgedancer and Dawnshard from Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives. Up next is Wind and Truth - another monster novel.

            I think I’ll jump into the Three Body Problem series after this

                Just re-read it; waiting for my wife to finish it so we can go see the movie.

                I read Andy Weir quickly. She struggles through the technical jargon (as neither a native speaker nor an engineer, I can't imagine it's familiar).

                Ya, lots of scientific and mathematic jargon. My wife and I are both reading through it as well. She read The Martian before we saw that and we'll likely go see this one when we're done.

              Just finished Trinity and Trinity's Children by Dave Bara. I'm currently reading Impulse from the same author, which is the first volume of the Lightship Chronicles trilogy.

                Realm of Ice and Sky by Buddy Levy. Fit into 2 of the niche categories that I like, polar exploration and zeppelin history

                  I've been reading The Final Architecture series by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I read #1 (Shards of Earth) a few years ago, and borrowed #2 and #3 (Eyes of the Void and Lords of Uncreation) from a coworker. I finished #2 last week, started #3 over the weekend. Hoping to finish tonight.

                      Did you watch the series? The book is definitely better but I thought it was interesting after reading the book.

                      I haven't yet, my wife and I just watched Project Hail Mary after we both read the book. She's going to start the book shortly and we'll likely check out the miniseries after. Typically, the book is better so we're prepared to be disappointed.

                      Great read. That was my favorite book in High School.
