Finished The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the Mistborn series. What I remembered of the ending, was actually 100 pages before the actual end, so was fun reading that.

Currently Reading Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. Didn’t like the start, but I am about halfway through and enjoying it now. It says it’s “comedy horror”, but I am just not getting the comedy part, which is probably why I didn’t like the start, I think. The story itself is interesting enough though.

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

    I’m currently reading the third in the Nightvale series, The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home. It’s pretty good so far, pretty interesting! If you’re not familiar with the Welcome to Nightvale series (or podcast) it’s pretty bizarre, nothing makes any amount of sense, but it’s fun. This book is a bit removed from that (kind of), but it still fits right in.

    I’m also listening to The Chemist, which is different from my normal, but it’s been interesting enough to enjoy. I knew nothing about it going in, and I appreciate the strong and interesting female lead, with her highly unusual job.

    Just finished was The Clockwork Dynasty, which took a lot of liberties with all the hand-waving in order to bring the plot to life, as it were, but it was enjoyable enough to consider reading the next one

    Next in the queue: Slaughterhouse Five. I’ve had this one on my list for ages, and am finally getting around to it. No idea what it’s about (and I refuse to look it up) but I’ve heard it’s really good, so am looking forward to it.

    Guardians Angels & Other Monsters is the next in the Clockwork Dynasty series, fingers crossed it’s worth the read.

    And lastly, Dreams Of Shreds And Tatters seems like a Monster Of The Week, but those can be fun, too.
