I've got the first three/four* Confederation books close at hand; they could be my next dead-tree reads. I've got some more ebooks ready to sideload, but my USB cable literally fell apart on me. (And I do mean literally - I noticed something strange about the cable, which turned out to be a crack in the insulation, and when I probed… Luckily, I have a replacement coming in tomorrow.) Those include three Seanan McGuire books I've been meaning to get to - Velveteen vs. the Seasons, Indexing: Reflections, and Every Heart a Doorway - as well as a Chuck Wendig book and the next novel and collection in Robert Bevan's "Critical Failures" series.

As for my current Ent-corpse progress, I'm slogging through the first of two books in Dayton Ward's The Last World War series. The book seems to have trouble deciding what it wants to be; the first half was a tight focus on reservist Marines versus aliens, but now it's zoomed out to the point that every chapter seems to be a few pages about a random new character encountering the invaders for the first time. The shoddy punctuation doesn't help, either. I intend to finish this book and its sequel, hopefully by the end of the year, but right now it's a grind. I hope the sequel is better.

* The first bound volume contains the first two novels, so whether you call my stash three or four "books" depends on how you define the term.
