Still reading The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the series. I am more than halfway through, so should be able to finish it this week.

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

There's a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven't started this year's Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are still 6 months remaining!

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

I just finished The Mercy of God's by the same dudes who wrote The Expanse series. I can't wait for the rest of the series. I also read the in-universe novella called Livesuit which was also very good.

Did it differentiate itself enough from The Expanse? It’s on my to be read pile but I’m worried it’s just going to be a bad Xerox copy of their previous work.

[–] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, it's nothing at all like the Expanse.

It's also sci-fi? Or some other genre?

And offtopic, but curious, do random people send you pics after seeing your nick?

[–] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah it's Sci-fi.

No, unfortunately no one has ever sent me pictures. I still have hope that it will happen someday though.

Well, good luck!
