I just finished a re-read of Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells to coincide with the AppleTV show being released they work well for quite a few bingo squares with 5E Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and 1E Now a Major Motion Picture being the most prominent. I’m now working through the Amra Thetys series starting with The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble’s Braids by Michael McClung. I read the first book for a past bingo and really enjoyed it, so now I’m finishing the series. They work for the2A Independent Author bingo square for sure
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I am just under halfway through By the Sword by Mercedes Lackey. I’ve never read any of her stuff before, and I didn’t realize this was part of a much larger, ongoing setting, but I’m enjoying it as a lighter read about a woman rejecting courtly roles for women and going full mercenary, with magic and psychic stuff for which I don’t know the rules, and a magic sword with a mind of its own.
I only did one book per bingo card square, so this one is actually the the orange colour square - lots of orange leaves, and yellow-ish hair on the cover art.
I just finished reading Alias Grace, by Margaret Atwood, which I really enjoyed. I wrote a review on bookwyrm about this being a really insightful book on storytelling itself.
