Finished Starsight by Brandon Sanderson. Second book in Cytoverse series. Loved the way the series progressed, though didn't liked the post-ending much. Going to start the novella soon.

Started Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. It's a standalone sci-fi. Don't remember who recommended Tim Powers or when, but he was mentioned in my list, so got couple of his books. I have just started the book, something is happening, but I am not sure what, so no idea what to think about it yet. Let's see how it turns out.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening lately?

I’m working picking up where I left if with the books of the Murderbot Diaries by Margaret Wells. I read the short story Compulsory a couple nights ago, and Rogue Protocol last night. I figure I can get Exit Strategy, Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory, and Network Effect for sure done by this time next week.

Having most of the early works in the series being Novellas or occasionally short stories really makes it fly.

Problem with some short stories and novellas is that not all authors/publishers collect them properly, so it can be a pain to find them all. Hope this isn't the case for this one.

The Murderbot series (at this point) doesn’t have any of them locked away in collections. They are all available for sale (at least in digital versions) right next to the others.
