Finished The Passage by Justin Cronin. First book in The Passage trilogy. Overall, liked the book. The start was slow, giving me Stephen King vibes, but it picked up the pace as it went along. It was too long though, and can’t get myself to start next one right away.
Read couple of son’s books to change pace. The Ghoul in the School by Marcus Rashford and Alex Falase-Koya, the second book in The Breakfast Club Adventures. And Unexpected Super Spy by Zanib Mian, second book in Planet Omar series.
Also read, and just finished 5 mins before this post, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson, book 3 of his secret projects, and part of Cosmere, but a standalone book, which can be read without any knowledge of his other work. I loved this book. Like most of his “secret projects” books, couldn’t put it down once I picked it up.
Currently Reading… nothing. Just finished the previous book and haven’t decided what to start next… leaning towards next Dresden Files novel though… let’s see.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Finally cracking into the He Who Fights with Monsters series. Enjoying the first book so far. The voice actor has a good voice.
Wanted to comment about He Who Fights with Monsters, I’m currently listening to Book 11 and am a little bit in awe how the protagonist is somehow extremely powerful but at the same time the writer still manages to keep him out of the “overpowered protagonist”-trap.
He’s still the same old likeable Aussie we met in book 1 but has gone through some powerful character arcs.
Definitely my favourite LitRPG/Isekai book series.
