New column! Every week we ask an interesting figure what they're digging into. Have ideas who we should reach out to? Let it fly: info@seattlereviewofbooks.com.

Cat Rambo is a Seattle based writer, and current president of the SFWA. Her second novel, Hearts of Tabat, is coming in April.

What are you reading now?

Right now I am reading Louisa Morgan's A Secret History of Witches. Morgan's the pen name for local author Louise Marley, whose work I enjoy under any name.

What did you read last?

I just finished up John Hornor Jacob's Incorruptibles trilogy, a wild mash-up of weird Western steampunky stuff with an alternate history where Roman never fell. Highly recommended!

What are you reading next?

Next up is M. Suddain's Theatre of the Gods, which the Guardian described as "like Douglas Adams channeling William Burroughs channeling Ionesco, spiced with the comic brio of Vonnegut." How could I resist something like that?
