Still reading The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the series. I am more than halfway through, so should be able to finish it this week.

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

There's a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven't started this year's Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are still 6 months remaining!

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

375 hours. I wonder how long it will take you to go through them. Three months?

Between Miss Fortune and Shaye Archer (and her other series) which one would you recommend as introduction to her writing?

Cut it in half for 2x speed and I'd normally guess about a month? But holidays coming is going to change my schedule, so probably mid-January-ish. We'll see lol.

Miss Fortune is complete and utter nonsense, and I love it for that. Not many do nonsensical well. Stuff where the creators can just be free and toss sanity to the wind and still have it work is some of my favorite storytelling, whether that's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Psych, South Park, Janet Evanovich, whatever else. So many swing and miss, but when it hits, it's magical.

Wow, that's nice.

Yeah, you are right about swing and miss. Love Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, have already added Janet Evanovich to the list, will check out Miss Fortune too.
