The fastest reading Wednesday

delight: (a dragonfly for mom)

What I Just Finished Reading:
Lindsay Buroker's Crossfire, which was a beta read. The cover makes me ridiculously happy, because it's the first Look It's A Spaceship Cover I've ever seen where it calls up a specific scene in the book. I have aphantasia so that's kind of a big deal for me (I'm told other books with these kinds of covers do nod to specific scenes, but I've never been able to identify them before).

What I’m Currently Reading:
Digital Divide by K.B. Spangler, though I haven't managed to pick it up in a few days because of SPARS being difficult at work.

(Also doing a beta-edit for a friend which is super short but I'm reading it over and over 4000 times to make sure I notice everything because I'm a little bit too perfectionistic. Or just enough?)

What I Plan to Read Next:
The plan is to keep going with the Rachel Peng series, so that would be Maker Space - but since I'm doing Lindsay's entire series as betas and Star Kingdom #5 or a spinoff may be ready first, it'll be that. One of those two!

Reading Wednesday is at least a thing to post

In this case, a very very short thing to post because I have nothing to expand upon, it's just a thing to post.

What are you reading?
Just textbooks, at the moment, I'm in between Actual Enjoyable Books because of not having a lot of time to read; I keep having to study or sleep on the train. If anyone cares about the title/authors of my textbooks, I'm happy to share ... ?

What did you just finish reading?
Lindsay Buroker's seventh Fallen Empire book, which has now been titled Perilous Hunt. I read an early edition and provided scientist beta reading, so the published version isn't going to have been the one I read.

What do you think you'll read next?
I'm hoping to get to Annie Bellet's Anne Baines' Hunting Delilah, a thriller written by a fantasy writer whose works I enjoy despite them being in the Not My Genre of traditional fantasy. The official blurb: Desperate for money after a heist goes south, Delilah breaks into a rich man's home. But instead of cash and jewels, she discovers a severed head and a serial killer. When the killer threatens her chronically-ill daughter and her childhood sweetheart, Delilah must turn the hunter into the hunted in a dangerous game only one of them will survive.
