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?

Martha Wells Murder Bot series (All Systems Red is the title in the post picture) is fun as well as quick and easy to read.

I will say it's not my favorite type of scifi but her writing style paired with the fun stories sucked me in.

Currently listening to the audiobook of The City and the City by China Meiville (Maybe should have read this one instead of the audiobook)

Currently reading the current F&SF magazine issue

The audiobook versions of the Murderbot series read by Kevin R. Free is my guilty pleasure. I have listened to them all in order about seven times. It's great in the background during menial work.
