Date: 2017-12-15 03:22 am (UTC)I bought a lot of books I really want to read this year, but aside from a few that were mostly sequels or series, they are just making my TBR pile grow ever bigger. I'm hoping to get a few of those read in January which is traditionally fairly quiet at work, and February, when I am taking some leave. High on the list are:
Terry Pratchett - The Shepherd's Crown, which I have been putting off because I don't want to live in a world where there is no more Pratchett to read
Mira Grant - Into the Drowning Deep
Omar Musa - Here come the Dogs
Cixin Liu - The Three Body Problem - friends lent me the whole trilogy several months ago and I still haven't started

Date: 2017-12-15 10:34 am (UTC)When I do get reading time I've been mainly reading fanfics over at asianfanfics.com. In professionally published work, I'm reading A River in Darkness (memoir about life in North Korea), season 3 of Tremontaine, and Lilih's Bt/i> by Octavia Butler.

Date: 2017-12-15 03:08 pm (UTC)I'm about 3 weeks behind on Tremontaine - I can't keep up this year, but I don't have the patience of wait and do a binge read at the end. :)

Date: 2017-12-15 01:59 pm (UTC)What I have been reading is a somewhat random selection of ebooks that I have been acquiring from Bookbub/Instafreebie/the like (as well as some I've purchased) over the course of the year. Recommended are Sheila Finch's "Reading the Bones"; Sami Shah's "Fire Boy" (sequel "Earth Boy" is on the aforementioned pile of new books); Tansy Rayner Roberts "Fake Geek Girl" and "Please Look After This Angel".
