I was pretty busy last week, so couldn’t post the weekly thread. Sorry about that.

Since the last update, I finished Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson, book 3 of the sci-fi series Cytoverse. After that, I continued with the last novella Evershore by Brandon and Janci Patterson. Now reading Defiant, the fourth and the final book in the series.

Also reading Design Patterns, a classic book for software design. While I have read about these online and studied from other sources, I never actually read the actual book. So fixing that now.

What about all of you? What have you been listening and reading lately?

A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

    I finally finished The Way of Kings which I’ve been reading since last July. I love a good slow burn and was enjoying reading a chapter a week or so, but I couldn’t put it down for the last dozen chapters, it got so damn good. I’m taking a couple of weeks off work soon, so I might wait until I get back before I start the next one.

    For tonight I’m in a bad mood so I think I’ll stick with something quick and dumb like Kissing the Coronavirus to cheer myself up a bit. Or skim through an old comfort read like The Lies of Locke Lamora.

      A month more and you could’ve hit a “reading for more than an year” benchmark 😀

      Good luck on cheering up!
