I finished It Devours by Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor.
I then read Sleepy Hollow, Volume 1, the first collection of comics based on the TV show.
After that I read Volume 2 of the Rick and Morty comics.
I'm now reading the second collection of Sleepy Hollow comics titled Providence.

I just started Federation the other night by Judith and Garfield Reeve-Stevens. Such a great one! I haven't read it in years.
A little over a third of the way through Hillary Clinton's What Happened.
Fire With Fire is on-deck.
I recently read John Bayer's 15 Months of Winter, covering his sojourn in Divide County, North Dakota, working as a columnist for the Divide County Journal. I've been to Divide County, ND. You don't have to have been there to get the humor, but it helps.

I've started re-reading DS9 Milleniumn book 3 I've really enjoyed reading these books again for the Ds9 25 anniversary.
Those books captured characters like Quark and Garak so well -- and what other novel can say it inspired a video game? (ST The Fallen)
I finished Sleepy Hollow: Providence.
I'm currently reading Star Trek: SCE: Wildfire by David Mack.

Grrr.... that bit when you're reading a history book you've been looking forward to for a while, enjoying it, thinking you're learning stuff, and then it blithely makes a statement you know to be utter bollocks, meaning you can't trust any of the rest of it either, and wonder whether to continue...
In this case, Stephen Talty's Empire Of Blue Water, a bio of the life and exploits of Henry Morgan, which on p.36 tells us "Privateering [as opposed to piracy] was invented by Henry VIII" - Bzzzt! Wrong answer. The earliest survivng letter of Marque and Reprisal/Commission to a privateer issued in England was issued by John in 1205. Henry IV issued four surviving ones, in 1400, 1404, 1405, and 1411. Henry V issued a surviving one against Genoa in 1413, and *then* Henry VIII finally put one out against France and Scotland in 1543.
It doesn't survive, but we know Edward III issued at least one set somewhere around 1344-5-ish as well
(My SCA persona is a Privateer, you see, so Ive done the research on Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and also I've written stuff about these periods)

Delta Blue by William Lovejoy, but I've picked up Persepolis Rising (the new Expanse novel) by James Corey and I'm itching to get over to that.
im about three-quarters of the way through Federation by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. Its been forever since i last read this one. But its been a good one.
