Finished The Passage by Justin Cronin. First book in The Passage trilogy. Overall, liked the book. The start was slow, giving me Stephen King vibes, but it picked up the pace as it went along. It was too long though, and can't get myself to start next one right away.

Read couple of son's books to change pace. The Ghoul in the School by Marcus Rashford and Alex Falase-Koya, the second book in The Breakfast Club Adventures. And Unexpected Super Spy by Zanib Mian, second book in Planet Omar series.

Also read, and just finished 5 mins before this post, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson, book 3 of his secret projects, and part of Cosmere, but a standalone book, which can be read without any knowledge of his other work. I loved this book. Like most of his "secret projects" books, couldn't put it down once I picked it up.

Currently Reading... nothing. Just finished the previous book and haven't decided what to start next... leaning towards next Dresden Files novel though... let's see.

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

Heh. Unfortunately I haven't read any of these "Death" series that you mentioned. Deathlands is on my list though (due to your recommendation), but want to finish some of the series I am reading before jumping into something so big.

BTW any recommendation on where to buy ebooks from? If I don't want to use Amazon? I pretty much stick to physical books from our local store, so don't have much idea about those.

Haha yeh that is fair enough, I am however now going to go out of my way just to find books and series with Death in the title purely to recommend on each of these weekly threads ;)

I'm afraid I don't, as much as I'd like to be able to give you a good recommendation due to my hatred of amazon, I am a pirate through and through. If you want to go down that route then I can however recommend myanonamouse as the best place for everything eBook and audiobook related.

Haha, I would look forward to more Death books.

No worries about the site, I'll look up something.
