Finished Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. It was a fine book, enjoyed reading it, at least the latter half.

Started The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. Third and final book the of Mistborn series, well the first era anyway. This is quite a dreary book, but it concludes everything so that's good.

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

Just a note, next weekly thread falls on 31st Dec, so we are going to skip that, see you in week after that, in 2025!

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.

Finished off Theft of Swords, which was a nice easyread when I got going. Normal fantasy stuff, magic on the rare but not non-existent side, which is a good level imo. Starting on book two of the Ex- series Ex-Patriots, not groundbreaking but good enough I'll finish and continue on with it.

Ah, The Riyria Revelations, they are pretty highly regarded, at least I have seen them getting recommended a lot.

I have the Ex series on my wishlist for quite a while. How are you liking the overall series?

Ex-Patriots is book 2 of 5. It's not a mindblowing series, but the read is easy enough, and I got them all used so it's a good bit cheaper. If I bought them full priced I'd probably be a bit upset at present (though, again, 3 books still to read, my opinion may change based on those.).
