Last week I finished When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi, and I am currently working on the fourth book in the Chequey Series by Daniel O’Malley, Royal Gambit.

The Chequey Series started with The Rook, and I’ve been reading every book as it comes out. I enjoy the whole series, but it can be controversial because not everybody agrees with its structure, as each book doesn’t directly follow the characters of the one before, but instead tells another story with different characters who interact in the same world. They slightly overlap at some point.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately??

With regards to Bingo, I’m provisionally planning to use When the Moon Hits Your Eye for the square New Release and Royal Gambit for the square Political, but they may drop off or be changed as time goes on.

Coming back after reading the last short story to say that it was awful and put a bad taste in my mouth overall. If you're reading this series, do yourself a favor and ignore In the Woods. It didn't make sense from a story/logic perspective AND was deeply unsatisfying.

Wow, I wonder if I happened to miss that last one. I really liked the series and didn't remember reading something past the third book. Thanks for the tip!

It's a collection of 3 short stories called Silo Stories. It came with the box set of the books I got. The first two are fine, but honestly, I don't you're missing anything by skipping them altogether.
