Read Die Trying by Lee Child. Book 2 of Jack Reacher series. It was a fun book, though I wasn't fan of how passive Reacher was in most of the book, most of the action happens near the end. Was hoping for more action throughout the book. Still fun though, going to get more of these.

Now, continuing with my Mistborn re-read. Started The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. It's Book 2 in the series, and for some reason I don't recall much of what happens in this one. While I didn't recall the details of the first one either, I recalled most of the plot, for this one though, I only remember the ending, and maybe one other scene. Everything else I thought happened in 2, would happen in 3. So, looking forward to reading it and finding out!

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

Took me longer to finish Lud-in-the-Mist than I hoped. I don’t know that I enjoyed it, but I appreciate having read it.

On to Dungeon Crawler Carl and I’m about halfway through it already.

Dungeon Crawler Carl gets many mentions, how are you finding it?

Dungeon Crawler Carl is a great series. It’s one of the best LitRPG style books I’ve read. Most of the humor can be actually laugh out loud funny at tjmes, but also the overall theme of the series is relevant and it can even get pretty deep. I think I even cried once.

If you’re mildly interested in it, jump in. I don’t think you will regret it.

Cool, will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Pretty enjoyable and a quick read. It’s pretty standard LitRPG fare so far. The humor doesn’t seem forced like it can with some others.
