About halfway through Lords of Uncreation, the third book in the Final Architecture trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

They are to space opera what his children series is to hard science fiction. It has imaginative aliens that resist monoculture stereotypes and ominous, seemingly implacable foes. The technology never descends to Star Wars' (for better or worse), but standard tropes like FTL and gravitic control are all fundamental assumptions. However, once those assumptions are made, everything that follows is consistent and reasonable to the setting.

The cast is diverse, interesting and entertaining and the pacing is nothing short of breakneck.

I just finished reading "Fair Play", which is a book on the division of unpaid/unseen labor in households. Next up we have "Thriving with Adult ADHD", "The ADHD Effect on Marriage", and "Organizing Solutions for People With ADHD".

Can you guess the current issue in the Porcupine House? 😅

Not exactly a science fiction book, but just finished Mother Night by Vonnegut, incredible book.

Back to science fiction: I just started A Deepness In The Sky by Vernon Vinge, book 2 of his Zones Of Thought trilogy. I liked the first book a lot so looking forward to this.

Considering a re-read of Iain Banks suite about The Culture. There are some real unique and out there concepts explored in those books that aren't touch by many other sci-fi series.

I'm on book 13 of wheel of time and am planning to do a re-read of the extinction cycle again after I finished wheel of time, I just love those books

The laundry files, a series by Charles Stross. He's brilliant and so precise with the details that even if it's science fiction it feels SO real.

Listening to Becky Chambers' novellas right now. Finished "To be taught if fortunate" and "A Psalm for the wild-built", gonna do "A Prayer for the Crown-shy" soon.

Also started the Murderbot diaries by Marth Wells and finished the first book so far.

About halfway through Children or Ruin, the follow up to Children of Time. Really enjoy the series so far. Very impressed with the creativity.

Also read Project Hail Mary while on vacation a few weeks ago. I’m not sure Weir can ever match The Martian, but PHM was very enjoyable.

Recently finished The Interdependency Series by John Scalzi. Reading Upgrade by Blake Crouch at the moment. I'm a huge fan of Murder Bot Diaries and The Bobiverse as well.

I haven't had the chance to read in a hot minute. I think it's because part of my brain is still waiting for book 3 of the king killer chronicles.

Currently rereading City of Golden Shadow, the first book of the Otherland series by Tad Williams.

Must still highly recommend The three body problem books, some of my favourite sci fi ever.

On my 2nd time thru Book of the New Sun. Hoping to understand at least 12% of it this time.

Children of time by Adrian Tchaikovsky

I'm reading Way of Kings right now, as well as back through the Harry Potter Series (just finished POA). Way of Kings is amazing.

The Bobiverse books are so damn good, read them last year

I consume most of my books via audiobooks.

I'm just about to finish the final Expeditionary Force book, overall I really enjoyed the series, yes there were a few low points (we won't talk about the the audio drama one!) but I thought it held up well.

This is my list of upcoming books:

I'm reading Deaths End the 3rd book in the "Three Body Problem" series.

Some of the best sci-fi I've ever read, super unique ideas, I was blown away with some of the concepts in this series.

Finally picked up The Gunslinger by Stephen King after wanting to get into the series for a while. It's engrossing (and more brutal than I expected) so far, can't wait to find out what all the hubbub is about the ending.

I'm still pretending to read Frankenstein, the OG sci fi novel, at least in modern fiction anyway. I say pretending though because it's been sitting on my bed stand for weeks untouched. It's beautifully well written, just haven't had time or attention span lately idk.

Turns out I don't understand half of the sentences in 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra', so back to sci-fi, it's time to finish the last three books of Hitchiker's Guide to The Galaxy.

I'm half way through leviathan falls. Super excited to get to the end, sad because I don't know what to read after.

Im on my last book of the wheel of time audiobook! Took me about two years to arrive here, maybe even more. It's superb! I hope to finish it before our child is born in August, so I can start with the next, rading it on my Kindle. Really can't wait to get to the end of it. The whole last three book reads like waiting on the next episode of a series. Constant cliffhangers. The next book will be the second and later books of the sounds of hyperion.

I’ve been on an Ursula le guin kick. Finished Left Side of Darkness, started Earthsea series (just book one) and am finishing up Dispossessed (since it’s due back to inter library loan soon). But sure what’s next. I have the expanse books on hand, but the semesters about to start and things get busy.

Parable of the Sower

I'm about 75% through Morning Star by Pierce Brown. It's book 3 of the Red Rising series. I wasn't really into the first book but it turned out ok. I'm not sure I'll buy the remaining books though.

Cryptonomicon

Edit: I just realized this was the scifi community. Whoops

Just listened to the full cast audiobook of Alien: Out of the shadows. Nothing amazing but was a fun listen. Before that was Artemis, not as good as Project Hail Mary imo but still quite enjoyable. I think Recursion is going to be my next read, but I'm open to suggestions.

The Bobiverse books were great. Can't wait for more. I've been reading Expeditionary Force which is where the Skippy's come from. Also Rythm of War by Brandon Sanderson.
