The Eternal Champion by Michael Moorcock
I just finished The Black Hammer Vol. 1 and 2 and it was an amazing read. A group of Golden Age heroes have spent years trapped in a small town, living on a farm after fighting an epic battle with a Galactus / Darkseid like opponent. How did they get there? Why are they there? What's keeping them there? Spooky mysteries, dysfunctional family drama, very relatable human characters as well as being a love letter to the storied history of comics. I cannot say enough good things about this series.

About to start a book called The Indian Heritage of America to read about some groups (Inuit, Chinook - basically anything in the northwest and extreme north) of native Americans of whom I know nothing.
Ha! That didn’t last long. Didn’t even finish the second volume, I was so bored.
Chaim Potok, The Gift of Asher Lev
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaiden’s Tale

Finished By Gaslight by Steven Price. This was very good. London 1885, and William Pinkerton is chasing down an old criminal that he and father has had history with. Learned quite a bit about the Pinkertons and the characters in general were quite interesting.
Yesterday I finished listening to Some Kind of Fairy Tale’ by Graham Joyce. It is the best book I have read so far this year.
A 15 year old girl goes missing and her family believes that she has been murdered. 20 years later she reappears and she has not aged. Is it really her, where has she been etc?

Nearing the last bits of The Complete Chronicles of Conan, currently reading "The Black Stranger". After that it's just a couple of shorter stories, drafts and synopses.
That reminds me of a recent case involving a missing daughter that turns up around 20 years later claiming to be their long lost daughter. They did a DNA test on her and it ended up negative, and still she didn't give up. I think eventually they had to put a restraining order on this person.
American War by Omar El Akkad. Set within a dystopia where a second American civil war breaks out.
Just finished Door to Door: The Maddening, Mysterious World of Transportation. More like "The port of LA is really big, and I hate cars unless they're being driven by an Uber driver or a Google Autonomous system".
I'm currently on my annual Discworld binge. Just about finished with Guards! Guards!
An Argumentation of Historians by Jodi Taylor
I love this series (The Chronicles of St. Mary's) and I don't usually enjoy time travel, but this is not the usual type of time travel. Lots of humor and excitement along with history. The author uses her real name as one of the antagonists.
