I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

I am rereading Malazan Book of the Fallen. Just started the fourth book, House of Chains.

The start of this book is the hardest for me to get through. The first couple of chapters are really boring to me and it's only after

spoiler

Karsa is captured and Torvald Nom is introduced

that I start getting into the story. The rest of the book is phenomenal, of course.

Edit: damn, is there no other spoiler option that just greys out the words? Edit2: Geez, I only just now realize this is not c/books but c/sciencefiction. Sorry if this post doesn't belong here then, haha.

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Wild book. 3rd in the series. Not finished yet but the first two were incredible.

I'm currently reading Chibola Burn, the forth book in The Expanse series. Really enjoying it, specially since the third one was my least favorite of the first three. So it feels good to be loving a book in the series again.

I would recommend the series to fans of somewhat believable sci-fi.

I'm re-reading Broken Angels (the sequel to Altered Carbon) by Richard Morgan. Of the three books in the trilogy, this is the one I liked the most.

I've got River Of Pain by Christopher Golden on pause. It's an Aliens-prequel about the colony set up on the planet where the Nostromo crew picked up the alien. I haven't read it before, but I'm pretty sure I know how it ends.
