I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

I finished it tonight. I preferred an all or nothing finale and so wasn't quite as enthused but c'est la vie.

I felt the same about some of the Expanse books slowing down in the middle as well fwiw (maybe slowing down isn't the right word, but there were 2-3 books where it felt like you had to read 60% of the book before the real problem emerged that made the storyline more gripping and less misc en scene-esque)
