Finished Mistborn: Secret Histories novella. Don't want to spoil, but it was really exciting to read this secret history.

Read Redshirts by John Scalzi. A sci-fi about the "redshirts" in a Star-Trek like universe. Highly recommended for any Star Trek fan.

Started Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire. First book in her October Daye urban fantasy series. This is my first Seanan McGuire book, have heard a lot about her.

Still skimming through The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll.

Putting Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken on hold for a bit, shouldn't have started multiple non-fiction at once. Will pick it up after finishing the Bullet Journal Method.

Bingo squares covered: Short and Sweed, Award Winner (Hard mode)

I just finished The Broken Earth trilogy and liked it. The first book was by far my favorite and I felt the third was a bit of a “quick, I need to explain everything” exposition dump at times. Overall the series was interesting though.

I’m now re-reading Project Hail Mary in preparation for the movie. I really liked it the first time so don’t expect this time to be any different!

Oh snap there's a movie coming!? I just finished a re-read myself. It holds up well for a second round.
