I read Winter Tide by Ruthanna Emrys, it was pretty good. Now I am on book 2 of the Diogenes Trilogy (Agent Pendergast) by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Dance of Death. These Pendergast books are not great but sometimes I want a 3 star fluff read.2

I'm finishing my Michael J. Sullivan series this evening I believe, unless something comes up. Book 6 of 6, Age of Empyre.
The pollen and allergies are terrible here in SE PA too, and now the fires are making everything worse. Fingers crossed this isn't a yearly occurrence going forward....1 -
Finished the Diogenes trilogy, Pendergast book 7, The Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
Now starting The Rise of Skywalker (Star Wars) by Rae Carson.
Reading stats for 2023: 5 hours per day average
Reading stats for June 2023: 5 hours 50 minutes per day average
I am about 15 minutes above 2022 total average of 4 hours 45 minutes per day, but June was a bumper month in hours read. I listen to audiobooks as I walk my 100 minutes per day five days a week, and most evenings too when others may be watching television. Most of my reads are immersion reading with the ebook companion to the audiobook, but not while I am walking.2 -

Felt like I was plodding toward the end of The Grace of Kings, but I can see why it would be popular with fans of that kind of book. It's imaginative, sweeping, very visual... To me, it seemed more like a detailed description of an epic movie series than a thoughtful novel, but perhaps that's the particular genre? I'll be interested to hear your take, @Catfish_Fan.
Now I may start The Three-Body Problem if I don't decide on something more my normal speed.2 -

Across the Sand (sequel) by Hugh Howey
One of my friends is reading The Three-Body Problem right now and he really likes it. I don't know much about the book myself.2 -
Things have been too busy lately, but I'm going to find a chunk of time to start Three-Body properly. Looking forward to it!1

LOL- I was just thinking I hope the book hangover I'm going to have from While We Were Watching Downton Abby(just finished this morning) doesn't interfere with my new book. It's just Chick Lit, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.
Next up - The White Hare - Jane Johnson

Oh, glad to hear the "While We Were Watching Downton Abbey" was fun! I noticed that, but wasn't sure. I was glued to the show (even watched it a second time through with my aging mom) so sounds like I'll have to check it out.
Book hangover? It's REAL!2 -

I really need to move that book up to the head of the list! Or not? Did you like it, Catfish?1 -
It was different than I expected, as I had not read any reviews or synopses before plunging in. I gave it 4 stars.
