What are you Reading? (August 2023)
(lemmy.world)
I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.
Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)
At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?
I recently read "A Memory Called Empire" by Arkady Martine. It's the first book I've read by her and her writing style got me good. Her background as an historian shines through in the Empire she crafted. She won a hugo or nebula for the book but I can't be bothered to look it up at the moment.
What an excellent book. I love political intrigue and this book does that so well. Her second book in the series "A Desolation Called Peace" is very nearly as good.
