I am big sad today because although I have my surgery in 5 days, I will be likely having to completely miss a halloween trip I planned with my friends this week. No books still, just lots of rest and water and Zofran. My cats and knitting have kept me company though.

Fingers crossed for the surgery! That's very sad that you'll have to miss out :/ Well, at least you didn't get hit with this bs during the trip?
How did the surgery go? All the best for your recovery!
After having finished Thistlefoot (amazing, great for the spooky season, highly recommended), I ended up starting Homegoing, that has been on my radar for a bit. It’s a rough book, talking about the space trade with a lot of unsavory details. I am not ready yet to comment on it.
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I just started on Fathers and Sons by Turgenev. Also listening to The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett and Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy.
I've been having a hard time reading and this is technically not a book, but I've been reading a speculative evolution project called Serina: A Natural History of the World of Birds
It's fascinating and has great illustrations, I recommend it
Network Effect, by Martha Wells.
I’ve finally gotten into Jim Butcher’s Cinder Spires series after putting off reading the first for so long now that the second will be out imminently.
Life has been busy, which means that I've mostly switched into maintenance mode and just read a lot of fanfiction (easily digestable, right there on my phone, familiar characters and tropes - perfect for turning my brain off for a bit). I can't quite decide what "real" book to start next - considering When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain.
