I accept the book club selection and started reading The City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty. The author created a fantasy novel full of Middle Eastern folklore and adventure. It's taking me places.

The City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Starting the year with a bang. Currently reading The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R Tolkien (my first time reading LoTR). I am also participating for the first time in this sub's book club of 2019 by reading The City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty.

Finished City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty. Very charming--didn't know it was the start of a trilogy, though.

Now reading Sword & Citadel, by Gene Wolfe. His writing can be so beautiful but this guy's attitude toward women continues to repulse me.

Started/Finished Maddadam, by Margaret Atwood and The City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty, started The Complete Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolf.

Barely dipped by toes into New Sun so far, but I got a chapter or two in before I needed all the sleep.

Finished the audiobook of Beauty Queens, by Libba Bray. Massive props for Libba's performance on the audiobook. Such an entertaining listen.
Also just wrapped up The City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty, generally enjoyed this, but pacing felt a little off and Nahri annoyed me a bit particularity about Dara.
. Currently reading Swarm, by Scott Westerfeld and Music and Freedom, by Zoë Morrison

City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty.

Loved it. Started it because of the /r/books book club, but I'm unable to pace myself so I read it in a day. I loved how no single character is 100% "in the right" - each has biases and beliefs that are both good and bad from the perspective of other characters (and the reader).

Finished: Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline Very much enjoyed this one, better than the film, although the film did add a better emotional arc to the reason behind the the contest.

Finished: The Apostle, by Brad Thor This are fun, short, and fast paced spy/thrillers, not as good as some of the others, but still enjoyable.

Started: The City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty Rereading this before the sequel comes out later this month, and it's the r/books book club selection this month.

Finished: The City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty This was my second read through in preparation for the sequel coming out tomorrow. I enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than when I first read it last year.

The City of Brass, by S.A. Chakraborty

Just started the book. Just in the first few chapters it grabbed me inside. I haven't read books by this author, so this is certainly a new experience; including the Islamic mythology inside the book. All new.
