Readings:

Still the same books as last week. I don't think it was a good idea to start 3 books at once, I am probably going to focus of Bands of Mourning, which has become really interesting. Still have about 1/3rd of the book to go though.

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

All That We See or Seem by Ken Liu and The Incandescent by Emily Tesh. Having a bit of trouble with the relationships in The Incandescent so I've put it aside and am enjoying Ken Liu's latest, which is mostly about anonymity in an AI-rich society so far.

I’ve read a lot of Ken Liu’s short stories and I really enjoyed them. All That We See or Seem was the first novel I read of his and I liked it. Sometime this year, I’ll get to his Dandelion Dynasty series. I hope you like his work!

I'm sorta in the middle. I've liked some of his stuff I've read and not really enjoyed some other stuff, so we'll see. So far, this is a pretty good one though!
