I've just finished reading 'The Power of Geography: Ten Maps that reveal the future of our world' by Tim Marshall which I highly recommend to anyone interested in that kind of thing and 'Defiant' by Brandon Sanderson. Still trying to make it to the end of 'The First Four Books of Earthsea' by Ursula Le Guin - only about 40 pages left now. Also reading 'The Murderbot Diaries vol 2' and listening to 'A Deadly Education' by Naomi Novak. I've listened to the audio version of the Murderbot Diaries before but it's nice to read the written version now.

Sorry - I couldn't remember whether I'd replied or not - but here I am. I tend to have books that are quite substantially different on the go at the same time (1 crime, 1 sci-fi, 1 fantasy or 1 non-fiction) and also different formats - a physical and an audio at the same time, one small physical that I can carry with me, 1 larger physical that isn't really portable - that kind of thing. Think of it like watching different series on TV - you can switch from one to another at the end of an episode or two.
