What are you reading?

I have read the first 9 Cat Who books.

My mum loved the Cat Who books. She started reading them after finding a few In the club room of the retirement village she lived in. Soon after reading the first couple she was diagnosed with lung cancer. For the next two years I bought her the Cat Who a few at a time until she had the entire collection. She finished the last one only a couple of months before she died.

I took the collection home and read a few of them but then I decided to give them all away to another woman who was an avid fan. I might get around the listening to the audiobook versions one day.
 
In addition to the massive pile of comics in my to-read pile that I'm slowly getting through, I just read The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your House. Next up for novels are Moll Flanders and The Graveyard Book. The next Star Trek novel is Captain to Captain.
 
Finished Thrawn Alliances and did not care for it at all. I've liked most of Zahn's stuff, including the previous book, which I thought was good, but this one was terrible and seemed to mostly be an advertisement for the world of Batuu. And this is supposed to be canon? Ha!

Now reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
 
The entire Narnia series. I've read a few of them in the past, but this is the first time I've ever read them all, more or less in order.
 
I am reading Tomorrow by Damian Dibben. It is about a dog who somehow became immortal and is 217 years old. All he wants is to be reunited with his master (who I assume is also immortal). The book is non-linear and the dog’s ‘present day’ is set in Venice in 1815 where he has been waiting for 127 years for his master’s return. The dog tells tales of his current life and his of his past adventures to the reader.
 
I recently started Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, having abandoned The Medusa Chronicles by Stephen Baxter and Alastair Reynolds. The latter wasn’t bad at all, but being told in the form of excerpts from the life of a character who isn’t. really big on human relationships, it didn’t feel indispensable either.
 
I am listening to Heaven’s River by Dennis E Taylor, narrated by Ray Porter. It is a new book in the Bobiverse series and is set about 100 years after the original trilogy. Currently on the first chapter and already some Star Trek references. The original Bob was such a nerd as are all his clones.

The 4th book is only available as an Audible book and the eBook and the printed version will not be available until January.
