Finished The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King.
It was a nice book. Kind of YA, but fun to read. Pretty much a typical story of good vs bad, where good characters are super good and bad characters are super bad, with very few gray in between. Worth a read if you want a standalone fantasy novel that’s quick to read.
Read The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. My first Scalzi novel and I loved it. A very light and easy to read sci-fi, with Kaiju in them. Going to get other Scalzi novels, may start with Old Man’s War.
Finally got my order my Dresden Files comics / graphic novels. So read the first omnibus, which has the original Welcome to the Jungle and graphic adaptation of first two Dresden Files novels, Storm Front and Fool Mon.
Second omnibus has all original graphic novels novels though, but will get to them later.
Just started Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I have read it before, but it has been quite a while, so re-reading it before starting on the sequel series.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

The story is building up towards me being tempted to buy the fancy leatherbound version. The secret archives are kind of in between, and the Stormlight Archives are the ones I’d really want, but I seriously can’t justify $250 apiece for those.
That purple is sexy though.
Haha, yeah. To be frank, I am not a fan of the outer cover of these leatherbound versions, I prefer the full-picture cover pages of paper books, but other than that, illustrations, the pages, the writing, the overall quality, they are all so good in these versions!
Too expensive though. Maybe one day.
I’m a big fan of quality leatherbound stuff, though I can’t actually afford any of it. I do really enjoy the art on the regular Stormlight books especially, but I just like leather. Warbreaker would also be a good case for a leatherbound version because I don’t particularly like that cover.
It’s all pretty silly when the reality is that there’s not a very good reason to have any physical books because I read them all as audiobooks, but since I started I can’t seem to help myself. It’s a good thing I have no shelf space or I’d really be in trouble.
