I had a very productive reading time and chose a bunch of good book too. This is what I read:

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier - many people told me that I would enjoy this book immensely and it was true. Not even the book caught me completely, it also did have great atmosphere and I almost felt myself being dragged inside Manderley. Definitely one of the best books out there.

Prisons We Choose to Live Inside by Doris Lessing

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel

Saga part 1 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

They are made out of meat by Terry Bisson

And I will be reading Red Seas Under Red Skies (Locke Lamora 2) by Scott Lynch

​

I finished the Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch and have to say I liked the first installment more. It might be that a big portion of book was dedicated to the sea-faring stuff and other to the immeasurable intrigues that Jean and Locke had to go through. Nonetheless, I loved the final revelation while untangling the web of machinations, even though it was rushed a lot. If I get my hands on the third part, I will definitely read it. There are still some questions I need answers to!

I also read another volume of Saga, the third one (this comic series is absolute treasure, I love it) and two finish books in translation - Seitsemäs vieras by Kati Närhi and Moominsummer Madness by Tove Jansson. I really enjoyed Tove Jansson and will continue with her works in the future.

Plus, I started reading the July´s pick for the Book Club here The City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett, which I enjoy immensely. Already read 300 pages, so I expect to devour it soon.

I hope to start the Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin, as was my goal last week, but somehow I focused on the comics :D Cannot keep my priorities straight in reading!

​

For me, another pleasant encounter with Saga Vol.2 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, which I will hopefully continue having in the future.

I also read Men Explain Thing to Me by Rebecca Solnit that was not that bad, but neither great. From the first pages, I had a feeling that the book felt weird. I think these essays are by themselves very important (the ones about violence towards women and exploitation of states left me in tears), but the writing style didn´t quite do it for me.

Plus, there was Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell, a middle-grade book set in pre-revolution Russia wilderness, where Feo and her mother are training wolves, which had been turned into domestic pets by aristocrats, to be wild again. They are threatened by one mad general, who turns Feo´s world upside down. It is very pretty, with nice pencil illustrations, even though I have some smaller issues with the story in general.

Will continue reading Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch and hopefully start some more titles that I borrowed from library:

Moominsummer Madness by Tove Jansson (I haven´t read any and this is the one that Miss Librarian gave me, but I found out that this is fifth in the series already :D). Nonetheless, I am really looking forward to this, because my Finnish friend loves Tove and I want to know her works.

Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin - finally found it in library! Hurray!

The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan - hopefully :D

Reading: Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch

Finished Grave Peril, by Jim Butcher I am working on a reread of the Dresden series, one per month or so.

I will also finish Life Reset: EvP, by Shemer Kuznits and Dalton Lynne this week as well. I am enjoying this series, and I look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

I will start Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch later today.

I finished reading Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch, the second in the Gentleman Bastards series. I loved it and just placed an order for book 3.

Shadows of Self, by Brandon Sanderson

Work has been crazy so I've been skipping lunches and haven't made much progress on this one. Still loving the setting and the villain.

Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch

This is my current audiobook and the second book in the gentleman bastards series. I'm finally enjoying this series as much as I wanted to. The character relationships are starting to grow and strain and I'm hoping the long-cons still work out in the end.

I've been really slacking on my reading ever since the warm weather came out. But I'm slowing getting through Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch and The Color of Magic, by Terry Pratchett.

Shadows of Self, by Brandon Sanderson

Still not too far in this one, but I'm loving the villain already.

Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch

Just getting to the early stages of wrenches being throw at Locke's plans. We'll see how everything falls apart and comes together again at the end.

Gnomon, by Nick Harkaway

Recently finished this. I'm not entirely sure what to think of it - there were a lot of individual parts that I really enjoyed, and I love the overall concept. Not sure if I'm happy with how it all came together in the last quarter or so of the book, but I think I will revisit the book in a year or so and see how I feel on a reread.

Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch

Have just started reading this. It's been a while since I read the last book, but I'm happy to see Locke again and am looking forward to seeing the mischief he gets himself into.

I'm working on the second book in the second mistborn trilogy, Shadows of Self, by Brandon Sanderson. I'm only a few chapters in so not much has happened yet, but I'm excited for more western-victorian-mystery-thriller-fantasy action.

I also started the second audiobook in the gentleman bastard series, Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch. I'm still near the beginning of this one, but I'm enjoying it so far. It opens with a more planned out con as opposed to the off the cuff finish of the first book. I enjoy the more meticulous plans, so I'm happy with it.

Began reading Use of Weapons, by Iain M. Banks

Finished Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch ... it took me a month to get through (been a busy month). It was very good and the writing also.
