I'm reading Becky Chambers' Monk and Robot duology. I finished A Psalm for the Wild-Built and I'm about a third of the way through A Prayer for the Crown-Shy. Like everything I've read by Chambers, I like them enough to keep reading, but I can't quite love them.

In theory I'm also reading King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild about King Leopold of Belgium and what he did in the Congo, but all I've read is the introduction and I haven't picked it up in a few days so we'll see where that one goes.

The thing I liked best about the Monk and Robot series is how soothing and meditative it is. I read them up during the pandemic when I needed something calming.
