Ooooooo got it in just under the wire – at least in my time zone! So are we all cooked enough? I hope no one here has been severely impacted by all the fires raging around the world! Might be time to start reading dytopian fiction and brushing up on our survival skills… Just sayin. So whatcha all readin? Print: _The Wonder Engine_ by T. Kingfisher Loving it just as much as I did when I read it 10 years ago! Audio: _The Gods of Guilt_ by Michael Connely. I really like Mickey a lot more than Bosch, I just hope Connelly doesn’t keep the sad sack persona on Mickey much longer. Kindle _Dog Bless You_ by Neil Plakcy. The 4th in his long running cozy series about a golden retreiver with a knack for finding bodies and the college professor/ex-felon who has to solve te mystery. Lots of fun and a nice New England small town vibe. _Khadaji was one of the earlier members of SDMB, and he was well-known as a kindly person who always had something encouraging to say, particularly in the self-improvement threads. He was also a voracious, omnivorous reader, who started these threads 'way back in the Stone Age of 2005. Consequently, when he suddenly and quite unexpectedly passed away in January 2013, we decided to rename this thread in his honor and to keep his memory, if not his ghost, alive._ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/khadaji-s-whatcha-reading-thread-august-2026-edition/1032066)._
