After finishing it, I wanted to focus on the other books I was reading but the ending made me start the Mistborn: Secret Histories novella right away.

The novella takes place in Era 1 (at least as far as I have read) but the recommended order is after The Bands of Mourning, as mentioned at the end of the book. Pretty interesting so far.

Still Readings Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken and The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll, but at very slow pace. Going to focus on them one at a time to speed them up.

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

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted in one of these, and in that time I read the first 2 books of the Ransom Riggs series, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children Then followed it up with the brand new Dresden files book Twelve Months by Jim Butcher.

Also, during this time I’ve been doing a second go through of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series this time the audiobooks just because I have heard them praised so highly and they are definitely one of the best audiobook productions I’ve heard. I’m currently on the second book of that.

Probably get back very soon to Ms. Peregrin’s, but I’m also quickly finishing up The Invention of Hugo Cabaret before I get back.

It had been a bit since my last read through, but As song as you recall the 2 prior books you should be good. Enjoy, I really did.

Oooh, how's Twelve Months? I am at Cold Days so no spoilers 😀

I have been sitting here for five minutes to try and figure out how to describe it…

And the best I can do is tell you that it is very emotionally raw and it’s probably not the type of book that most people would be able to just sit down and read cover-to-cover. It’s sooo good.

Hmm... poor Dresden, wonder what Jim put him through this time.

I am speeding up my reading of Dresden Files, will fully catch up later this year.
