Reading Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. The premise is pretty interesting, can’t wait to see where he takes it.
As mentioned last week, @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe are working on something related to Bingo card for books.
Keep your eyes peeled, just one week (or so) to go.
Also, welcome @JaymesRS@literature.cafe as a newly minted mod of this community!
Now to topic at hand, what have you been reading or listening lately?
Currently listening to Star Wars Outbound Flight. The reader/speaker isn’t a good one.
I am not familiar with Star Wars novels. What is this about?
A Jedi master is like, we should expand outside of the current galaxy and into other galaxies. Political and military kerfuffles ensue.
It is now classified as Legends and no longer canon since the Disney purchase of Lucas. It took place between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones films.
Yeah, heard about “Legends” stuff when Disney bought it. Ignoring the narrator / speaker, how’s the book?
It’s been alright so far.
Jurassic Park (the book) - first time reading it after watching the movie multiple times.
Interesting. How are you liking it so far?
Very interesting and different in some ways than the movie.
Listening to Cibola Burn by James S.A. Corey (book 3 of The Expanse). I gotta say, the narrator sucks pretty bad. He pronounced the spice cumin as “Come In”.

What’s with the asterisks? Also what has been your favorite from that list?
How I keep track of the physical books I have read. End of year I pull them all out and take a pic of them all. Also so far I loved In The Lives of Puppets. Also enjoyed The Fireman of course swear he channeled his dads Stand with that novel.
Also the Theodore Boone novels are pretty good.
And just finished a novel that part of series of books accidentally started with the middle novel but called Witch Upon a Star.
