Finished The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. This was a very interesting book. Set about 300 years after the first era. The changes in the world, and to learn about some of the characters, it was all very interesting, and I am very glad that I re-read the first era before reading this.

Finished Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. The book was surprisingly good. I quite enjoyed it, and it didn’t even feel old.

My kid is already on book 5. So, highly recommended your for your 9-12 year olds.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    Ho boy. It’s a good read, but I wouldn’t count on it being distracting. Be prepared to be confronted with potent reflections of the bullshit.

        Definitely, but also in a very real way. And those real problems seem bleaker when you don’t see a Vimes in the real world to fix them.
