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 have a couple things on deck:

    • Light from Uncommon Stars - Ryka Aoki - I’ve seen this one recommended several times, and finally decided to give it a spin.
    • 36 Streets - T.R. Napper - A more niche title, but something to hopefully give me a bit of a noir fix.

      Light From Uncommon Stars is the most memorable book I’ve read in years. It’s a beautifully-written, extremely ambitious novel about demons, found family, donuts, Asian cuisine, interstellar war, gender identity, the violin, loyalty, good and evil, beauty, fear and love. Plus, it takes place in the San Gabriel Valley, which is my old stomping ground. It may not be to everyone’s taste, but I absolutely loved it.

        There you go, another strong recommendation! I just have to wrap up Mexican Gothica and then I’m all in.
