I'm #CurrentlyReading Seven Mercies by Laura Lam & Elizabeth May
I keep reading book #1 of books with sequels, and now I have decision paralysis with 4 very interesting (and several less so) sequels to choose from. so I decided to do it FIFO. I read Seven Devils early in the pandemic and never did read the sequel.

I'm #CurrentlyReading Harbinger of the Storm by Aliette de Bodard.
I read its prequel, Servant of the Underworld, last year and really liked it.

I was going to say I'm #CurrentlyReading _The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter_ by Theodora Goss...
...but I just finished it. I liked it a lot, it was wonderful, and even exposed me to a gothic short story I had not known about, "Rappaccini's Daughter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

I'm #CurrentlyReading The Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee
The worldbuilding in this book is amazing, I must say; but does mean I can't just blast through reading it in a sitting, so I'm posting it here unlike the last 4 speculative fiction books I read.

I'm #CurrentlyReading Security Chaos Engineering by Kelly Shortridge & Aaron Rinehart.
Of course the name is appealing to me and it seems relevant enough to my job and interests.
I have a physical copy; I'm not just skimming a pdf.
EDIT: I had to pause this reading; I started taking a set of "Cybersecurity" courses in Coursera and I realized I would be more entertained and catch more references if I read this book after I finished.

I'm #CurrentlyReading The Legacy of Yangchen by F.C.Yee.
I missed this book coming out in July as I was otherwise occupied, but I love the Avatar world and got it as soon as I realized.

I'm #CurrentlyReading Aerie by Mercedes Lackey. It's the final book in The Dragon Jousters series.
Whilst cataloguing the books in our collection, I tripped across these books my partner owned and thought I'd try something that wasn't in the world of Valdemar. I got up to the intro to this book and set it aside, given the surprising lack of challenge the protagonists experience in solving all problems thrown in their path.
Now I'll finish it.

I'm #CurrentlyReading Under Alien Skies by Philip Plait, PhD. It bounces back and forth between and imaginary future tour of various extraterrestrial locations and a layman explanation of why these would be your experiences.

ok.
Hi! I bounced over here from mastodon.social b/c of @uberduck@hachyderm.io and @comptona@hachyderm.io .
I've been a release engineer for quite a while, at Google for a large portion of it, which isn't interesting unless you're at Google. I'm in SF Bay Area, have 2 adorable dogs, & am in a 4-years-and-going-strong "cloud" D&D game my partner runs.
I have a large number of books becuase I was raised to never throw out books. I've only thrown out one book ever.
Pretty boring rn, but working on it.
