August through November Reading List

For some reason I thought I had made a post for September but apparently not. I wouldn't hold my DNF books against them during this time, I was very tired and not feeling books that might have normally been decent, so probably most of them are perfectly good reads. I re-read a lot of books and fanfiction during this time including the entirety of the HOTE Ao3 tag, twice at least. Then I started on re-reading the Goblin Emperor Ao3 fic. Then I started going back through Murderbot fic. So you get the gist. New books had to be incredibly good for me to finish them. 

Read

•  Bad Company by Megan Greenwell - a book about private equity. I didn't technically finish this book but I got the gist. private equity is so fucked up and shouldn't exist. library e-book
• At the Feet of the Sun by Victoria Goddard - this was the first time I read this book, I re-read it about a month ago again. physical book I bought
• Lakelore by Anna-Marie McLemore - decent little book, really liked it. library audiobook
• Hemlock and Silver by T Kingfisher - hey what the fuck. it was good. but what the fuck. I wasn't at all bothered by the demon horse in the last fairytale retelling but the leggy guys are fucked up in this. you should read it. library ebook
• Queen Demon by Martha Wells - not as tightly timelined as Witch King but definitely got me in the feels more. physical book I pre-ordered
• Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz - cute little scifi book, just chill. library ebook
• Portrait of the Wide Seas Islander by Victoria Goddard - little novella in the HOTE series, very good, enjoyed it. physical book I bought. also re-read
• Petty Treasons by Victoria Goddard - little novella in HOTE series, very good, deeply in the feels about it. physical book I bought. also re-read
• The Return of Fitzroy Angursell by Victoria Goddard - little novella in the HOTE series, fun and funny and in the feels about it again. physical book I bought. also re-read
• Those Who Hold the Fire by Victoria Goddard - little novella in the HOTE series, very good. physical book I bought. 

Re-read

• Network Effect by Martha Wells - library audiobook. the narrator is excellent for this series and I love murderbot so much
• Witch King by Martha Wells - library audiobook - I finally learned how many of the characters names were actually pronounced
• Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells - library audiobook
• System Collapse by Martha Wells - library audiobook, clearly I was on a roll
• Hands of the Emperor by Victora Goddard

DNF

• When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley - not sure why I wasn't into it, but felt decently YA in a way that was irritating me even though I think the protags were supposed to be in their twenties maybe. I dunno, this was back in August. Library audiobook
• Dark Moon, Shallow Sea by David R Slayton - no idea what I didn't like about it, probably just wasn't feeling it. library e-book
• War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi - I might try this one again later. library e-book
• The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami - not feeling it, library audiobook
• Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer- I remember the first book being decent and funny, found the first chapter of this extremely irritating due to love-sick POV character. library audiobook
• Lies We Sing to the Sea by Sarah Underwood - decent story, I could see where the romance was going and I didn't like it. library audiobook
• Motheater by Linda H Codega - really really liked this one's story and got through 2/3 of it, but the romance was annoying me, will probably go back and finish it. library ebook
