What are you guys currently reading?

I just finished Sebastian De Castell’s The Malevolent Seven and damn it was good, although in the first quarter I wondered if I really wanted to be reading it. Wish the next was already out, but thankfully the author is quite prolific.

About to start Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary based on a blind recommendation. Never read The Martian, I’m not so much into scifi usually, mostly into fantasy and historical fiction but there are exceptions so I’m gonna give it a go.

    “The Dead Zone” by Stephen King. His older books from this era really do pack a punch compared to his newer stories.

    Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary is absolutely fantastic. Even if you don’t really appreciate his sci fi stuff, it’s got a great plot, charming character development, a firecracker of a plot twist, and a really well done up ending that’s quite atypical.

    Oh Project Hail Mary is such a good book! I read it a while ago. If you’re into sci-fi at all, you’ll love the book. Check out The Martian if you haven’t already, same author

    Flipping through short stories from a couple of best-of anthologies at the moment, though I’m planning to start The Coral Bones by E. J. Swift sometime soon. Been on a kick of reading marine-adjacent fiction lately.

    Brandon Sanderson’s Warbreaker :) The book is so long, but it’s a tightly plotted book, so am enjoying it.
