A day late, but better late than never!

Finished Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher. Book 8 of Dresden Files. Loving how the series is progressing. How the characters are growing, and how the stakes keep getting higher and higher.

Currently Reading Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson. Book 3 of Cytoverse / Skyward series. It continues from after Book 2, and we haven't come across the events of the novellas yet. I am interested to see how they will cover those.

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

The magicians and it's not really clicking for me so I'm struggling to get through it. Current chapter that I'm on, my kindle estimates that it'll take me 44 minutes and that feels like a slog to get through. Also reading heroes by Stephen fry and it's a much more enjoyable read for me.

The magicians

Lev Grossman's? I read it a long time ago, and while it wasn't a quick read, I remember enjoying it. Haven't read any of the sequels though. Have been thinking about rereading the book and then getting the sequels.

That one. I finally got to act 2 earlier today and it's definitely not for me. The writing and the structure doesn't work for me and it feels like I haven't even seen any plot so far. I know act 2 is after the school but I'm not reading 10 chapters to maybe see what the plot is. I couldn't get into malazan or song of ice and fire either and I got to book 2 of malazan and actually liked book 1 before the 2nd took a different direction.
