Audiobooks get me through a lot of migraines, and the one today definitely needs it. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Seeing that tag.. have you already listened to Ann Leckie's latest The Raven Tower?

I got so absorbed in this audiobook that afterwards I kept thinking I'd just finished an epic fantasy trilogy until I went back and looked it up again.

I'm reading mostly and . Next up will be sci-fi. What are your must-read hard sci-fi books? I don't really like space operas.

I have recently read Butler's Parable books, Suarez's Delta-V, and before that the Expanse series and Stephenson's Seveneves, from the top of my head.

Something like that.

Edit: Since it gets recommended a lot (and rightfully so!): I already read the Three-Body trilogy. :)

Edit2: I created a Bookwyrm list with all the recommendations I added and those I would recommend myself that were mentioned here:

YO! Worldbuilders!

What is your justice system like in your fantasy world? Do sheriffs patrol your lands? Do knights take care of the crime? Does an inquistion or religious group? If there is a famous (or infamous) group or person taking care of justice, tell us about them!

I'm Ashkenazi, my parents and I belonged to a Reform temple growing up. I currently am a member of a non-denominational synagogue near me that has conservative roots.

Still seeking decent sources of bagels near me as a New York-to-Boston transplant, have been ordering bagels as gifts for my equally transplanted parents straight from NYC. Goldbelly has saved us all. I did manage to find a very good Jewish deli near me whose bagels are pretty tasty, although not quite the same.
