I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's been a while since I read anything of his and I'm loving it.

Maybe my favorite of the series so far, and definitely the best ending of the three. That book goes places, some super heady hard sci fi.

That's good to hear. I absolutely loved Time but didn't enjoy Ruin anywhere near as much, so I didn't read Memory. Might have to get on that

Yeah definitely recommend it. It was one of those “okay I need to immediately evangelize this series to multiple friends because I need them to get to the third book in the series” moments when I got to the last few chapters. It’s really good.
