I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.

It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

Just finished rewatching The Magicians, since it's my favorite darker adult magic TV Show. Now I am about to start The Magicians by Lev Grossman to see what it's like. Heard the books are more nihilistic.

I just finished Lieutenant Hornblower and am thoroughly enjoying the series. I’ll be starting Hornblower and the Hotspur soon.

I read The Wager a few months back. I enjoyed it. If you’re looking for something else in that vane you might try Batavia by Peter  FitzSimons.

I am currently rereading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. It’s a great read, but a little dark.

The Daily Stoic as everyday routine. I have other books in queue.

Working through Perdido Street Station on my new Kobo. I understand the critiques on pacing, and spending too much time on world building as now, 400 pages in, races, sections of the city, creatures, and cultures are still being introduced. But it has been an enjoyable ride so far, especially with one of the main PoVs being one of my favorite tropes of just "scientist doing science"
