Where did the Tuesday go? Well, as the power vested in me as a mod of this community, I am declaring today a Tuesday! So, without further ado:

Finished The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

Loved the book. A quick and very enjoyable read. If rest of the trilogy is similar, going to get the whole series.

Read Small Favor by Jim Butcher, 10th book in the Dresden Files series. Liked in much better than the previous book White Night. Full of action, without much dull moments. Stakes keep getting higher and higher, but we are starting to see some bigger picture.

Currently reading Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. It’s short stories in Dresden Files universe. I started it after White Night, but only reading stories that are before the book I have read, so this will not be completed for quite a while.

These don’t cover any Bingo squares, except maybe Eazy, Breazy, Read-zie

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

    Still on the Brandon Sanderson train. After finally catching up with Stormlight and reading his excellent secret projects, I’m a little over a book in to mistborn.

      You caught up to Stormlight pretty quickly! I am still in planning phase of re-reads.

        I listen at ~2x speed (adjusted slightly depending on the narrator) for a good number of hours per week. It adds up lol. I’m a lot less consistent with ebooks or physical books, but audio I can just let my brain relax and take a ride while I’m doing whatever mindless physical stuff.

          That’s nice!

          I wish I could play game while doing my work stuff, but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that, maybe if I had 2 brains and 4 hands. 😀
