Hey Beehaw, whatcha reading right now?
The Murderbot Diaries.
I’ve been enjoying it, it has a surprising amount of heart for a series about an emotionally damaged not-robot.
I was put off by the pricing on these. Full price for novella length. I really enjoyed the first one, I’ll grab the rest if they go on sale
do comic books count? i just started reading DCeased. otherwise i’ve finally cracked open Lolita, it’s an interesting but disgusting read.
My current read is Abarat by Clive Barker.
I’d not heard of it until last week, when folks on r/books were singing its praises in a thread, so figured I’d give it a shot. Yeah, it’s enjoyable. Definitely aimed squarely at the middle of the YA crowd, but it’s an easy read at a time when my brain isn’t letting me really get into any books.
Currently reading Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy really fun reads though it got weird in some places
Just started Howl’s Moving Castle. Liking it so far!
Not exactly like the movie, but it’s pretty close.
I usually have a print/ebook and an audio book (for the car) going at the same time.
For print book, currently reading Crooked Kingdom, one of the books in the Grishaverse series/world. I, uh, got a little obsessed after watching the first season of Shadow and Bone a year or two ago.
For audiobook, currently listening to Children of Ruin. Not too far into it yet, but I loved loved loved Children of Time (also listened to the audiobook version), so I’m excited to see where this one goes.
I really want to read Children of Time. I actually did start it and got half way through, but I have such an intense arachnophobia that I had to give up because I kept dreaming of spiders and waking up terrified. I enjoyed his writing style, though, and am curious about his new trilogy coming out.
I’m currently re-reading Transgender Warriors by Leslie Feinberg, for Pride Month!
I finally managed to read through Gardens of the Moon recently which I really liked, so now I’m on to Deadhouse Gates.
Black House, by Stephen King and Peter Straub
The eyes of the dragon by Stephen King
Pattern Recognition, William Gibson.
Gibson is tough to get into, personally, but his stories are very cool!
Expeditionary Force: Match Game
Currently reading “Brave New World”, Aldous Huxley. Next up Isaac Asimov’s Foundation.
I’m halfway into “Guards! Guards!” by Pratchett. My first story of his, and I’m having so much fun!
You’ll love these books!
Jealous you get to read them all for the first time.
ahhhh welcome to the discworld!!
Once you’ve read that, get a copy of Nightwatch. Much the same cast of characters, but it’s widely considered to be Terry’s magnum opus. That book is a damn work of art.

Yeah, I already have planned to read the whole night watch saga. Then I’ll see what other side of the Discworld to move on to
I have 2 going right now:
- Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk
- Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Snow Crash is good, but IDK. It just isn’t pulling me in the way I expected it to, so it’s taking me too long to get through.
Then I have some Jack Reacher novel on my bedside table waiting to be started, and I was just eyeballing a collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories on my shelf.
