It's so hard for me to talk about my recent/current/future reads because they are all mid-series or the end of one.
I am currently slogging through A Feast of Crows by George RR Martin, the fourth A Song of Ice and Fire book. I loved Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings (which I read in June) and liked A Storm of Swords slightly less (which I read immediately before this one), so I'm not sure if I'm just wearing myself out on ASOIAF or if this one just isn't as interesting as the first three. I DON'T KNOW. I plan to read A Dance With Dragons next because I like to power through a series and then mourn the loss of it by gorging on adaptations and fanfic. This is my life now.
Recently I finished the Spiritwalker Triology by Kate Elliot with Cold Steel and tbh I've recc'd Cold Magic (the first of the triology) so many times here that I'm sure everyone has heard of it by now. But to sum up: magic, strong female characters, familial relationships, romance, sword-fighting, revolutionaries, spies, lawyers that are feathery trolls, etc etc.
And somewhere on my list is Plague by Michael Grant, which I can't find a copy to borrow for free currently so I keep putting it off. It's book 4 (lol a series~) of a 7 book series about what happens when everyone over the age of 15 disappears and a dome forms around your town and everyone starts developing super powers and some of the kids are straight up sociopaths. It's actually really disturbing considering the age of the characters and audience (definitely a "young adult" series).
