I am just wrapping up a reread of the back half of The Expanse. I reread 1-2 a year ago and skipped 3-4 because they’re very slow. I really love the setting and how grounded the scifi feels. I think the last few books kinda lose that grounding but the earlier ones are good enough to carry me through.
Next I’ll be reading Rebecca by Daphne De Maurier for a book club. It’s really outside my normal wheelhouse being historical fiction, but Wuthering Heights was one of my surprise favorites from high school and it feels similar enough in its writing. I do really enjoy the flowery prose from what little I’ve read thus far. It’s rare I’m afforded the opportunity to indulge so much in the English language.
