The Murderbot Diaries.

I've been enjoying it, it has a surprising amount of heart for a series about an emotionally damaged not-robot.

I’ve reread the series more than once, and I hardly ever reread books—I just can’t get enough of Murderbot! I’m anxiously awaiting the new release, System Collapse, due out later this year.

Currently reading Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy really fun reads though it got weird in some places

I’ve always got way too many books going at once. I’m listening to the audiobook of The Overstory by Richard Powers, one of my favorite authors who never disappoints, and, among others, I’m reading The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton—which is entertaining enough so far, but I’m reserving judgment—and Auē by Becky Manawatu, which is so emotionally devastating at times that I have to take it in small doses.

Neuromancer. It's okay so far.

I just finished Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle. I LOVED it.

This in on my TBR list. I had mixed feelings when I heard about it, but it gets great reviews. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

The Count of Monte Cristo! Liking it so far and I've heard good things

I just got a copy of the Count of Monte Cristo. I’ve enjoyed every Dumas novel I’ve read, but I’m surprised at how many I’ve missed.
