Thanks, Michelle, for another Readathon!


Icy-Cobwebs-In-Space  (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 159 comments I'm looking at an Adrian Tchaikovsky Month!
Starting with Eyes of the Void (release May 3), then a reread of Children of Time and Children of Ruin (Book 3 of this series January 2023), plus some AT Fantasy, starting with Cage of Souls. Then a lot more of his SF I haven't yet read, plus a lot of Alistair Reynolds SF.

Great lineups, all!

I'm reading The Memoirs of a Survivor by Doris Lessing for my Goodreads book club (science fiction is always our June genre).
I'm also reading The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes and I'm hoping to get to Annihilation (Southern Reach, #1) by Jeff VanderMeer

Still slogging away at The Once and Future King (The Once and Future King, #1-4) by T.H. White
I have to finish it by end of June. I'm on book three, The Ill-Made Knight.

Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 565 comments I finished listening to Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire and now I'm listening to Blood Red Road (Dust Lands, #1) by Moira Young . Forgot I had this trilogy out from Hoopla and they're all due back next Friday so I'll be plowing through it, perfect timing!

Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 565 comments Blood Red Road (Dust Lands, #1) by Moira Young was a re-read in a different format and I much preferred the audio format over the physical because of the dialect Young uses and lack of quotation marks, stilted sentences, awkward paragraphs, etc. I really enjoyed re-reading this in a new way and I finally continued the trilogy!
I just finished listening Rebel Heart (Dust Lands, #2) by Moira Young yesterday and now I am listening to Raging Star (Dust Lands, #3) by Moira Young to finish the trilogy!

Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 565 comments I finished listening to yesterday Raging Star (Dust Lands, #3) by Moira Young and really enjoyed this trilogy!

Icy-Cobwebs-In-Space  (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 159 comments I read 31, 20 are SF, and 41% of Upgrade which of course is SF too, near-future.
In July I'll be reading more SF for the Aliens/UFO Challenge at Hooked on Books, and my "personal" "Einstein In Fact and Fiction" Challenge (yes, some of that will be SF!).
