Hello everyone! The weekly threads are back after a small hiatus.

I was reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series), picked it up again but bookmark had dropped somewhere and I couldn't find where I was, so may start from some earlier place.

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

I finished The Book of Dust series by Philip Pullman. I really enjoyed it, however, I think the History Dark Materials trilogy was better. I preferred the world hopping in HDM and there wasn’t as much of it in TBoD. Still a good trilogy and I’m happy I read it.

I just finished Star Trek DS9 Bloodletter by K.W. Lee. It’s a book that takes place early in the tv series, so Bashir is still pretty cringey and Kira is a hot head. It was a fun story though, got to see more interactions with the wormhole aliens and some of Kira’s past.

Currently reading Star Trek TNG Fortune’s Light by Michael Jan Friedman. I was kind of feeling like reading more of a romance novel, but I wanted a shorter quicker read. A story about Riker being very Riker and flirting with everyone was a good balance for me.

I have one more Star Trek book that I picked up from a thrift store, then I think I’ll tackle my next series read. I’m thinking one of these:

  • Sekret Machines by Tom DeLonge and A.J. Hartley (3 books)
  • Uncharted Hearts by Constance Fay (3 books)
  • The Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu (4 books)
  • The Protectorate by Megan E. O’Keefe (3 books)
  • The Spider’s Mate by Tiffany Roberts (3 books)

His dark materials is so good!
