I thought I needed a few good laughs so I am now listening to P.G. Wodehouse's Thank You, Jeeves, narrated by Jonathan Cecil.
What are you reading?
- Thread starter Snowlilly
- Start date
Star Trek Vanguard - Storming heaven (aka shit still hitting fan)
Still reading Stephen King's IT. I'm about halfway done now. I haven't had much time to read, but I need to finish it.
Confront and Conceal, about foreign policy in the first Obama administration.
I am listening to How to Survive a Horror Movie: All the Skills to Dodge the KIlls by Seth Grahame-Smith, narrated by Johnny Heller. Lots of fun so far.
Continuing Inge Eriksens "Space Without Time"; second book is called "North of Time".
A small ship manages to jump centuries into the future (perhaps by purpose, perhaps merely by miscalculation by their navigator) where they encounter a small'ish civilization of humans that do not know their history or where they are in relation to all the other colonies. Turns out (but I haven't read that far yet this time) they are on Earth which was decommisioned because noone thought it would be able to ever again have a life sustaining ecology.

I finally started reading The Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton and I am enjoying it very much. Apparently, living in Le Corbusier's beautiful Villa Savoye was a nightmare.
I have almost finished listening to Navajo Autumn by R. Allen Chappell, narrated by Kaipo Schwab. It is the first in the series of murder mysteries set on a Navajo reservation. It is a short novel.
Now I will have to find an equally short audio book to do me until Full Wolf Moon by Lincoln Child is released in less than 48 hours. FUll Wolf Moon is the 5th book in the Jeremy Logan series.

Ethel Lina White. 'Third Eye' Just finished it. Golden Age mystery type of fiction. She's pretty good in that the protagonist changes up. You can start reading one of her novels from the ingenue's perspective or and often an older central character, then next you're reading from a secondary character, then the killer (if there is one) and then the boyfriend.
I haven't read any of her books but I see that two are available as audiobooks at Audible (The Lady Vanishes, and The Spiral Staircase) so I have added those two to my Wishlist.
It, by Stephen King. Want to finish it before the movie comes out in September.
I read that in college; freaked the shit out of me!
Right now I'm reading Paddle Your Own Canoe by Nick Offerman, and Magnificent Vibration by Rick Springfield.
Miss Chicken, are you aware of Tony Hillerman's novels? Mystery novels involving the Navajo tribal police.
Dark Mind, book seven in the Star Carrier series by Ian Douglas. His novels are somewhat similar to the Orions Arm Universe, which blends space opera with Transhumanism.
The human race has an underdog status through the series. Now, the Earthling astronauts go from the frying pan to the fire.
Dark Mind is an entity with technology far beyond humanity's, as well as being vastly greater in terms of sheer awesome powerfulness. And it has been implied that Dark Mind may not be benign.
So, of course, the Earthlings are trying to get the thing's attention.

I was ill last week and read three books:
MaddAddam - Margaret Atwood
American Gods - Neil Gaiman
Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
Now, I'm breezing through the novelisation of Rogue One. It's way better than I expected - better than the TFA one, which kind of sucked imho.

They are on my wishlist but I have read any of them yet. I might get to them sometime next year as I want to finish off this series and read some more of Margaret Coel's mysteries set on an Arapaho reservation. I have read the first two of those.
I have done quite a bit of reading/listening in the last week.
I listened to
What Vengence Comes by Anthony M. Strong, narrated by Evan Harris . I thought th a straight out murder mystery but it ended up being a wereewolf story was a bit of a coincidence given that I read it to fill in time while eagerly waiting for Lincoln Child's new book to be released.
Full Wolf Moon by Lincoln Child, narrated by Johnathon McClain. Backpackers are being savagely murdered during the full moon. and a forest ranger asks his friend, Jeremy Logan. I did not enjoy this book as much as previous books in the series.
Boy Made of Dawn by R. Allen Chappell, narrated by Kaipo Schwab. 2nd book in a series set on the Navajo Reservation.
On my Kindle I have read Silent Child by Sarah A. Denzil. 6 year old Aiden disappears during a flood and he is presumed drowned. 10 years later he is found walking down a road, he is mute and unresponsive.
Now I am reading The Shadow District by Arnaldur Indridason. Icelandic murder mystery.
