I am reading The House at Sea’s End by Elly Griffiths. A Ruth Galloway mystery. It was supposed to be a quick read, but got busy with some stuff, so going slowly.

What about all of you? What are you reading, or listening these days?

Note: So, I posted this last week, but for some issue with federation it didn’t actually sync. So, this will be another one and half week post.

    I’m reading the transcripts of The Magnus Archives podcast, and Time To Orbit: Unknown by Derin Adala.

    Struggling a bit with The Magnus Archives tbh. It’s a supernatural horror story with a really interesting premise but there’s a lot of really disgusting stuff that keeps happening that kinda messed with my head a bit. The rot, and meat, and infestations of it all are quite intense.
    I’m halfway through now, and while I’m down to a few chapters a day now for the sake of my mental health (the gross stuff is gross trust me), I’m curious to know where everything ends up and how it all works/will work.

    Time To Orbit: Unknown is really fucking good. It’s a scifi mystery set on a colony ship full of future humans and very well done, I can’t say more without spoiling it and it’s not even finished yet either (new chapters are realeased every Sunday and Wednesday). I caught up last week and the anticipation I’m feeling waiting for new chapters is surprisingly fun.

      Weren’t you listening to them before? Why did you switch to the transcripts?

      Time to Orbit: Unknown sound interesting, going to look it up.

        I was only just introduced to the Magnus Archives last month!
        I’m reading the transcripts because I struggle with audio processing and sensitivity (basically words stop sounding like words if a noise hurts, and lately everything hurts).
        The ““unofficial”” TMA transcripts on github are really good though!

        Time To Orbit is fantastic, there’s no way you won’t enjoy it. It’s moreish the way it unfolds.

          Oh, you are not that other Magnus Archives person? I have forgotten their name. They are a big fan, and have mentioned it at least a couple of times.
