Finally got around to start The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. Started and continuing as audiobook, but additionally I got the digital at about 10% in, to reread some passages.
Also, just yesterday, I picked up This is how you lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Tried to go in as blind as possible and I'm so glad I did. Really enjoying myself here.
Fantastic book! I greatly enjoyed it when I read it last year (maybe 2 years ago? Time flies...)
Hey I'm also reading LeGuin right now! The Left Hand of Darkness for me. I'll admit to not being entirely absorbed by it for a bit but I'm in the climax right now and the writing is stellar.
I'd heard about Left Hand of Darkness. The sequence that starts about 2/3 of the way through was a big surprise to me, but I wasn't mad about it.
I want to say more, but I don't want to spoil it for you!
