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’ve been taking a short break from Malazan Book of the Fallen recently, by exploring some new, lighter books, especially while at work, but I think I’m going to get back into it in August.
I bought both Asimov collections, and after reading the I, Robot edition pictured above, I started Prelude to Foundation.

The Bobiverse books were great. Can’t wait for more. I’ve been reading Expeditionary Force which is where the Skippy’s come from. Also Rythm of War by Brandon Sanderson.
Ex force books are a blast. Characters are excellently presented and story never gets boring. There are some parts that feel like filler but that’s unavoidable with 15 book series.
About halfway through Lords of Uncreation, the third book in the Final Architecture trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
They are to space opera what his children series is to hard science fiction. It has imaginative aliens that resist monoculture stereotypes and ominous, seemingly implacable foes. The technology never descends to Star Wars’ (for better or worse), but standard tropes like FTL and gravitic control are all fundamental assumptions. However, once those assumptions are made, everything that follows is consistent and reasonable to the setting.
The cast is diverse, interesting and entertaining and the pacing is nothing short of breakneck.

I’m on the second book of Hugh Howey 's Silo Trilogy. Loved the show, loving the books even more
Im on my last book of the wheel of time audiobook! Took me about two years to arrive here, maybe even more. It’s superb! I hope to finish it before our child is born in August, so I can start with the next, rading it on my Kindle. Really can’t wait to get to the end of it. The whole last three book reads like waiting on the next episode of a series. Constant cliffhangers. The next book will be the second and later books of the sounds of hyperion.

Finished Prelude to Foundation (fantastic!), now starting Children of Ruin (so far so good).
Not enough Heinlein!
The Stormlight archive- Brandon Sanderson
I’m reading the Silo series after watching the show, it is pretty good so far.
Love to see Leviathan Wakes in the graphic as well
