Still reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.

Just a few pages remaining now, would’ve finished it, but kid got a book from his school library, and wanted me to read it too, so reading Gangsta Granny by David Williams.

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

    FINALLY finished the TJ Klune sequel to House on the Cerulean Sea, whatever it was called. I’ve really enjoyed their other books, but this one was such pappy crap. Every single sentence was designed to tell you how special and wonderful being different is, to the point that the story was boring as shit.

    A week later and I’m 500 pages into Wind and Truth by Sanderson.

      Heh, when you don’t even remember the name of the book.

      How are you enjoying Wind and Truth?

        It’s good! This book is more enjoyable than the others, I think. The other books had SO MUCH to set up that it got a bit dense. Now it feels like Sanderson can just let the story play out instead of setting up stuff. It’s also finally making firm, direct connections between the Cosmere planets as opposed to just hints at them.
