Been looking for some more books to read. So tell me what y'all are reading. The last book I read was the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. It follows Honor Harrington, an officer in a space navy in the 41ST Century. It shows her rise from a captain to a fleet admiral during a time of peace. It has a great deal of fun naval battles, day to day struggles and politics. Fun read.
All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.

The last book I read was Ender's Game. As someone who doesn't read a lot, I thought it was pretty good. Pretty much, this six-year-old has a monitoring device removed that all kids have, he goes and fights someone picking on him, gets seen through cameras, then goes through a lot of schooling to kill an invasive colony called the buggers. I was surprised to hear that the book was from the 80s. It fits right into the 20s era.
Off the spinner, to the skinner, it chops off layers, now I'm thinner.

Currently working my way through The Bladeborn Saga book 5, but I DID just finish Dungeon Crawler Carl book 7.
Good dogs, a sharp blade, and his princess are all a knight needs.

I realise I know little compared to what all is true, I try to think, and the one thought I can no longer be swaid on is that god is very real. That being the case I will try to live in accordence to the way christ intends for us to act. Time to give up the weel.

not actualy a huge fan of some of his recordings, if he reads a book seareas that he started its good but if he reads like the fourth book or something in and it wasn't him before then he isn't fun to listen to tbh

Ok, so I am writing this to ask for recommendations, actually.
Recently I really started enjoying Scifi, especially with some thrilling action, maybe mixed with moral/ethical/philosophical contemplation of who we really are as humans.
Can anyone recommend some good Scifi to immerse into?
I am talking about modern books, stuff that was written in the last 10 years maybe, however if you think that some classics are worth reading and I most likely haven't read them, I'm all ears, thanks.

Currently reading some Victorian naval fiction. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know.

I'm currently reading the Harry Potter books, as well as a novel called My Vampire System; however, I don't think I'll be reading it anymore because the service that I use replaced the original audio files with a narrator that sounds terrible and is just an overall terrible production.
