Started The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J. K. Rowling. Have never been much interested in these in-universe books of Harry Potter, but kid got it from school library so thought might as well read it.

Also reading Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski. Book 2 of The Witcher series.

What about all of you? What have you all been reading or listening to lately?

Recently finished The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty. Rocking pirate adventure in a magical Earth, with a dash of family ties and middle-aged-ness. I enjoyed it.

About to start Way Station by Clifford D. Simak.

Tried When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill, but couldn't get into it. Mostly a coming-of-age / mother relationship (somewhat reminded me of White Oleander). Expected more dragon.

I’m getting ready to read today the Stonewall Reader and Cemetery Boys: Espritu for a couple book clubs. I also have checked out Steven Rowley’s latest Take Me With You. Now to find somewhere cool to start reading them.

Just finished Yesteryear. Flawed but interesting.

Currently listening to:
The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins
Red Rising - Pierce Brown

Reading:
Dance Dance Dance - Haruki Murakami

Selfish gene was good

harry potter

🤮

The Priory of the Orange Tree - only just started it but so far the intrigue is deep, lots of politics and dragons.
