Ooo I have a really cool old looking copy of that book from the late 80's. I'm glad it's good.I finished The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson on Saturday. It was very good. 5 stars. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
Finished Jade City by Fonda Lee. The combination of wuxia-esque fantasy and gangster politics was highly creative.
I just finished Tales from the Gas Station: Volume Four. It's a comedy cosmic horror series, and volume four was just as funny and weird and the first three.

That is the 2nd book isn't it? I just remembered, never mind, ignore me, lol!

Thanks! Good to know that. Some reviewers of UTWD commented that they liked his first book better. Made me think I picked up the wrong one to start with. Seems like I didn't.

I just finished Pandora's Star for the Sword and Laser book club March pick. My library hold took too long to get it in March. I gave it 4/5 stars. It's a bit like A Song of Ice & Fire stylistically. interesting ideas about the future. Reminded me a bit of Altered Carbon. It's a big one. The audiobook was almost 30 hours. It's a cliffhanger ending, so maybe plan on reading the next book soon after. I have it on hold (4 weeks).

I still can't stop laughing at a story my friend told me, she was listening to a Sherlock Holmes audiobook on CD back in the day in her car while driving to work and was so confused by the story, turned out she had "shuffle" mode on so it kept switching up the chapters! :D
I think the only book I actually listened to on CD was The Divine Comedy. I got it for free from a vendor at a convention. Wait, I think I ripped the audio & listened on my old iPod. I can't remember now. ha ha.
That’s hilarious. I’ve always been an audiobook fan and I remember dealing with discs. Then when I got my first iPod I would get them and upload them onto my computer. Now my library uses Overdrive it’s so easy. I’m going to check out Pandora’s Star.
I just finished The Six Gun Tarot by RS Belcher. 4 star read. Weird western with some cosmic horror.

I recommend it for sure.

I just binge read the whole series back between December and January. I had read Malice a couple or so years ago and never continued on with the series so I reread Malice in December and then when January hit I ended up binge reading the rest of the books. I was so happy that I did because it just made me want to stay in that world and never leave. Definitely an epic series! :)
I just finished reading this one which was a deep sea shark thriller and it had tons of action mixed with sharp teeth, blood, gore along with graphic descriptions of human snacks.
SCAR: A Deep Sea Thriller by Michael Cole
I just finished a re-read of a favorite collection of short stories by Susanna Clark The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories

I just finished listening to A Master of Djinn Sneak Peek & liked it a lot. I'm buying one of the prequel novellas on Audible & have another on hold on Libby. I Can't find the audiobook of The Angel of Khan el-Khalili.Update: I found it! Levar Burton read in on a podcast on Stitcher.
I finished A Subtle Agency by Graeme Rodaughan. I can't say enough good things about this one. 5 stars!
Finished a mystery yesterday: A Relative Murder by Jude Deveraux. Fourth in a series. Verging on cozy mystery. I really like this series. But - fair warning - I like Jude Deveraux's romances too.
Working on Desperation by Stephen King (reread). For those who haven’t read it you should definitely check it out. It’s bleak, twisted, relentless and creepy.
