Finally, I started 'Foxglove Summer' by Ben Aaronovitch
Rather fun to be back in the Rivers of London books. Aside from the whole cop-centrism thing, these are some real great urban fantasy.
I also just finished 'Excession' by Iain M. Banks on audio.
This may be my favorite of the Culture books so far, although I think I need to go and read it in print as I feel I may have missed a lot of stuff as my concentration is largely on driving.
This week I'm reading 'Nightshade & Oak' by Molly O'Neill.
It's a historic fantasy set immediately after Boudica's rebellion in Roman Britain. The ancient goddess responsible for shepherding lost souls to the beyond is accidentally made mortal and goes on a saga-like adventure with one of Boudica's daughters to reclaim her powers.
It's light reading, though has its darkness in places.
Based on when I last posted it looks like I haven't been on Mastodon in 2026 until now. I have been trying to be online less.
I've been reading more offline. I won't mention every book I've read for the first quarter of the year, but the best ones were probably Constituent Service by John Scalzi, Ender's Game reread with my son, Heartwood by Amity Gage, and Nobody's Baby by Olivia Waite.
I'm currently reading Agent to the Stars by John Scalzi for personal reading and Shadow of the Hegemon to my son.
