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?

    Ah, interesting. I am at very beginner level myself, could read the hiragana but not the Kanji, so would eventually need to find some books for my level, but with my speed, it’s probably going to be years before I get there.

      Doraemon isn’t bad early on once you have some grammar. It tends to have furigana over most kanji. I read some slice-of-life manga (特別じゃない日 or something like this) when my wife finishes. Slice-of-life is probably good to start. Good luck!
