Had a busy week, wasn’t able to read much. Couldn’t even go through all the responses from last week’s thread.

Still reading Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. I have read first 40 pages or so, and the book hold up pretty well. I am enjoying what I am reading, and my kid is loving them too.

Also started The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. I don’t start multiple books at a time, but I had to go somewhere where I would have few hours free, and I realised I would finish the Famous Five book in an hour or so, and didn’t want to take multiple books, so took Alloy of Law with me.

I am about half-way done, and it’s interesting to see how the world has evolved, and the myths / history of the world. Also the changes in allomancy are interesting. Looking forward to finishing it soon.

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

    Is this one of those where the show is better than the book?

        I have heard they changed somethings in the show, and all my friends seem to love it. (None of them have read the books)

        I haven’t watched it yet though, don’t watch much shows anyways, and wanted to read the books first even if I do watch it.
