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 okay, thanks! I generally don’t buy much ebooks so am a bit oblivious about this. My very short e-collection is pretty much all public domain and direct from author books.

    And yeah, Calibre is great, use that to connect / transfer books to my very old reader.
