At the weekend, I finished 'The Golden Enclaves' by Naomi Novik - overall I didn't like this series all that much - I much preferred 'Uprooted' and even the 'Her Majesty's Dragon' series to this set. I just couldn't find myself liking the main characters enough.
On a better note, on Tuesday I finished 'Stars Above' by Marissa Meyer - a collection of short stories from the Lunar Chronicle series - this was a much better read - mostly prequels to the main arc with each story focusing on a different character/characters. They aren't all perfect, but overall a pleasant read.
I've just finished the third Murderbot story 'Rogue Protocol' and have move straight onto the fourth 'Exit Strategy' as I'm reading 'Volume 2' which is an omnibus edition of the two novellas. Enjoying this as although I've listened to them before, this is my first time reading in physical form.
My last two audiobooks have been DNFs so I'm taking a few days break and listening to music instead in the hope of breaking the DNF cycle.
I've also been doing some reading of a training course I'm doing and the associated articles - this is an ongoing thing where I do an hour or two a week.
