Oh, today is #WorldBookDay!
What's everyone reading? If I finish my book promo prep in time, I'm diving back into Sanora Babb's Whose Names Are Unknown. And after that? Jennifer Egan's The Candy House. What about you~~~?
@MLClark 📚 I enjoyed The Candy House.
Currently reading:
- Eifelheim by Michael Flynn (for book club)
- The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier
Recently Finished:
- Chocky by John Wyndham
- Balloon: Altitude by Christopher Keith
- Less by Andrew Sean Greer
- This is How You Lose the Time War by by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone (holy cow - excellent!)
@codeWhisperer !! Oh, terrific. I never read Flynn's novel-length version, but I remember the original novella, and I was thinking about it last year while noodling with a draft alien-in-medieval-ages story myself.
What a wonderful range of recent reads. I don't doubt there was something to take away from each of them!
@MLClark Cool. The novel is fascinating, although I've already heard from several book club members that they will not finish it. Has LOTS of seemingly unnecessary detail, but I will persist in the hope that it all ties together. Don't get me wrong, still enjoying it! And it's best on Kindle since it contains MANY archaic words to look up (which is fun for me).
As for Time War, just wow. One of my new top 10 books of all time. (but I am also weird, so...)
Chocky was also a pleasant surprise.
@codeWhisperer @MLClark Not so weird. Time War is definitely fantastic.
