Reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). About halfway through the book, things are getting interesting, mainly because we are learning more of the world and how it works, still no solution to actual problem though, but I doubt we will get it before the end.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I’m reading “The Fort Bragg Cartel” by Seth Harp. It’s about Delta Force and all the hidden criminal activity that goes on at the highest levels of the military. These guys are the most elite soldiers on Earth and they are constantly raping, murdering, boozing, doing drugs and selling drugs. And how the state spends a lot of money covering up their crimes. Also they’re all racist and sexist.
It’s a great book. Very well researched. Seth Harp is a former military turned investigative journalist. So he’s the exact right person to write the book and he did a fantastic job.
I just finished reading a book called ‘La crisis latente del Darwinismo’ by Maurício Abdalla (which would be something like ‘The Latent Crisis of Darwinism’ in English). I loved this book so much. The author, who is a philosopher, explains the incompatibilities between the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin (and Neo-Darwinism) and recent scientific discoveries. He discusses alternative theories such as those suggested by Lynn Margulis or Máximo Sandín, which move away from competition as a key factor in evolution. Abdalla mentions how Darwinism was a theory molded by the ideology of its time: liberalism.
I’m currently reading Children of Ruin, I forgot some of the plot from the first entry, but the book puts you up to speed quick enough. I’ll probably go for Heaven’s Vault book 4 afterwards since it’s finally out.
Just started the second bobiverse book by Denis Taylor. They’re a lot of fun.
I’m just finishing up listening to the first one and I’m really glad there are more
I just started Persepolis Rising, book 7 of The Expanse by James SA Corey after a several years long break after book 6 because I was worried about a big time jump that happens and wasn’t sure how the story would go because that’s when the TV series ended also. I also just finished the final 12 Dresden Files books since early April so it’s fun to get into Space Sci-fi after a long fantasy kick.
For me, The Expanse was another of those situations where I was drawn in by a good TV/Film adaptation only to be blown away by even better source material.
That being said, I’ll always picture Miller as Thomas Jane.
Reading Project Hail Mary. I’m not really a reader and I bought this when I was drunk with friends. Had a flight coming and figured I might as well read it. I’m enjoying it.
It’s a fun read. Wish it had a slightly stronger plot but I get that the focus was on exploration and hard Sci-fi, I didn’t mind.
One of the few books (if not the only) that I managed to read in a few days, being a slow reader myself.
Very fun and moving sci-if piece. Goes even better in these uncertain and unhappy times.
