This was a nice week for book reading. Don't usually get this much time generally.

Finished The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. I didn't like the writing style initially but got used to as I read along. It's a small book, just a little more than 100 pages. An umm... interesting read.

Got my copy of The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson. Really liked the book. It was a fun, light book. There was much less action than I was expecting, after reading the announcement of the book, but that didn't make book any less enjoyable. Finished the book in two days, which I rarely get to do now.

Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of Dresden Files. I have just started it, but it's the same Dresden Files. Nothing to say about that.

Came across this article while looking up some tips for starting bullet journal. This is pretty close to how I started, only with dailies, and then added other stuff over time.

Can be helpful for someone who is feeling overwhelmed with starting a bullet journal. You can just leave couple of pages on start empty, and start with daily log, and then fill in the other parts later, once you are used to it.

On a new livestream Thursday, Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski said that he’s working on another book in the series, which would be the first one in a decade.

The livestream was an interview with Sapkowski and Ukrainian fans organized by Fantastic Talk(s). Sapkowski’s comments on the stream, as translated by Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence, reveal that he’s been hard at work on the new story for some time now.

“Yes, I’m working on a new Witcher book and quite diligently,” Sapkowski said.

The good news is, the book doesn’t seem far away. Sapkowski seemed optimistic about the timing, saying that “it may take a year, but no longer.”

Calendax is a way to merge your Future Log and Monthly spread together, and make something new. Like everything bullet journal, there are some variations of Calendax too. But this is a good place to start.

I finished Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, and started The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. It’s a thin book, and I am almost at the end.

The book is interesting, though I didn’t like the writing style much, but I guess it suits the story, the way it’s told.

What about you? What have you been reading?

Edit: So, I made this post 2 days ago, but turned out there was some issue between lemmy.world and discuss.online so my posts and comments weren’t showing up here. It seems the issue is resolved now. So, that's why the date is 2 days old, and thread is posted late.

I read a lot of self-pub fantasy and this newsletter is one of the resources I use to pick books to read.

Titles that caught my attention so far:

• Card Mage
• Runelight
• Wakespire (7th book of a series, I've already read and enjoyed the first six)
• The Non-Magical Declan Moore
