Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

What are you guys currently reading?

I just finished Sebastian De Castell's The Malevolent Seven and damn it was good, although in the first quarter I wondered if I really wanted to be reading it. Wish the next was already out, but thankfully the author is quite prolific.

About to start Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary based on a blind recommendation. Never read The Martian, I'm not so much into scifi usually, mostly into fantasy and historical fiction but there are exceptions so I'm gonna give it a go.

"The Dead Zone" by Stephen King. His older books from this era really do pack a punch compared to his newer stories.

Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary is absolutely fantastic. Even if you don't really appreciate his sci fi stuff, it's got a great plot, charming character development, a firecracker of a plot twist, and a really well done up ending that's quite atypical.

Very slowly, Legion from the WH40K Horus Heresy series.

7 down, 56 to go.

Oh Project Hail Mary is such a good book! I read it a while ago. If you’re into sci-fi at all, you’ll love the book. Check out The Martian if you haven’t already, same author

Flipping through short stories from a couple of best-of anthologies at the moment, though I'm planning to start The Coral Bones by E. J. Swift sometime soon. Been on a kick of reading marine-adjacent fiction lately.

Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker :) The book is so long, but it's a tightly plotted book, so am enjoying it.
