Hey there, I am curious what everyone is reading and how you are feeling with it. I started demon copperhead yesterday, made it about 70 pages in and decided to read the first book in the chthulu CaseBooks. It's a kinda retelling of Sherlock Holmes but with a Lovecraft quist.

I am digging it so far, about 50% through and it's a fun ride.

So what are you all reading?

I couldn't get past the time shift in the first book. It felt like it really should have been two separate novels.

Similar to Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. I couldn't even finish that one because the first 4/5 is a masterful self-contained story and the last fifth is just a completely different setting/tone/story.
