Dark Matter - Blake Crouch - good so far.
Quicksilver - Neal Stephenson - this will take a while.
You Like It Darker - Stephen King
Star Trek Picard - Firewall - David Mack
Mal Goes to War - Edward Ashton
Lake of Souls - Ann Leckie
Border Patrol Nation - Todd Miller
Wild New World - Dan Flores

Already started Dark Matter, Wild New World and Quicksilver. Dark Matter is pretty good so far. Wild New World is very interesting. Quicksilver is going to take a while. I read the first part about Daniel. That was very slow reading. I didn't dislike it, but it is one of those books that I will read slowly. I just started the next part which has different characters. This is a book for winter, not summer when reading time is less.

Location: Great Lakes, USA		What I have read so far this month -

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch - ok. Too many iterations.

Quicksilver - Neal Stephenson - ok. I am not that well versed in European history. Some of it was very interesting. Some of it was a little boring. I will continue the trilogy as it picked up in the end. ( And I own the books.)

You Like It Darker by Stephen King. - Good. I have always liked Stephen King's short fiction. These weren't the best ones, but they are definitely worth reading.

Firewall by David Mack - meh. Seven of Nine was never my favorite character.

Mal Goes to War by Edward Ashton - Good. Mal is quirky AI. This was fun, despite being about a war in a dystopia with some not so nice human characters.

The Hive by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston - or perhaps I should say George RR Martin II. Another book with a cliffhanger ending that will probably never be resolved. Oh well. At least there was Ender's Game, which takes place after this, so I can speculate what happened...

Currently reading Ann Leckie's Lake of Souls. First story was good.
