Still reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.

Just a few pages remaining now, would’ve finished it, but kid got a book from his school library, and wanted me to read it too, so reading Gangsta Granny by David Williams.

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

    Still reading I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle. It’s still light and fluffy fun, but it’s starting to feel kind of muddled. Like, I thought I was getting a story about a dragon catcher that hates his job, but that’s been sidelined in favor of a story about a prince that doesn’t want to rule. There’s been a sprinkle of “legendary dragon? nah, that doesn’t exist anymore” foreshadowing, but the plot’s been very low stakes otherwise. Not sure if it’s a framing issue (there’s a lot of POVs) or a narrative one, but maybe it’ll all come together later on.

      sigh Poor dragon, getting sidelined. We won’t stand for this injustice!
