I read 11 books last month, 9 recognized by Goodreads and 2 – not. Goodreads has clear issues with the Librarians not catching up with new books.

The tied first for the last month was between Thraxas at War by Martin Scott and All Systems Red by Martha Wells. Thraxas was a mature story with a good balance. The Murderbot #1 was fresh and new.
Honorable mention for Rebecca Yarros and Fourth Wing – it’s engaging and has dragons.
The worst book from last month was Rocannon’s World by Ursula Le Guin. She inspired me greatly in building my own system of values, for example about active listening. However, Rocannon focuses on describing a fantasy world with multiple coexisting aliens and spaceships. It wasn’t as cool as Stephanie Plum, page-turning like the Fourth Wing, or just great all-around like Thraxas and Murderbot.
I also completed 2 game books, one so absurd that it deserves a separate post.
ohh I love Ursula. Have you read The Left Hand of Darkness?

Yeah. I just read The Other Wind. I was sort of preparing to be disappointed, as The Farthest Shore was not my favorite. However, it was the opposite. I was taken right back to A Wizard of Earthsea. I have Tehanu on my bookshelf to read right now.

Some of the fantasy and sci-fi didn’t age well
