@owlislost @bookstodon I’m going spy/assassin thriller this weekend by reading Damascus Station by David McCloskey (which is not great but I think I’ll stick with it) and listening to Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn (fun so far).

@westerling @bookstodon Ooh, how is the narration in Lent?

@owlislost @bookstodon I'm about halfway through and no complaints. His voice sounds right to me for the main character. I had no idea what to expect when I picked this up, but it's an extraordinary book. Not for everybody, I think, though.

@owlislost @bookstodon Looks good! I've paused the Lymond re-read to give my emotions a break. Not quite done with I Have Some Questions for You (Rebecca Makkai), listening to audio of Paolo Bacigalupi's The Ship Breaker and just started All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and me (Patrick Bringley, who had a full career there as a guard!).

@KateOfMind @bookstodon How is The Ship Breaker? I'm listening to A Very Typical Family. Which has a tad too much romance for my usual taste but is otherwise very good. https://sierragodfrey.com/books/a-very-typical-family/

@owlislost @bookstodon The Ship Breaker is very good though a bit bleak, because "no war but class war" isn't going away in a post-apocalypse.
