Finished The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the Mistborn series. What I remembered of the ending, was actually 100 pages before the actual end, so was fun reading that.

Currently Reading Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. Didn’t like the start, but I am about halfway through and enjoying it now. It says it’s “comedy horror”, but I am just not getting the comedy part, which is probably why I didn’t like the start, I think. The story itself is interesting enough though.

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

    Currently 2/3 through The Spite House by Johnny Compton. Nothing revolutionary (so far) as far as haunted house stories go, but it’s fine. Nice to see a protagonist that’s determined to get to the bottom of things, rather than just try to survive.

    Also reading Chalice by Robin McKinley. I was a big fan of her early stuff growing up, but her later books weren’t really my thing. This is technically in that latter category, but we’ll see. It’s nice and cozy so far, albeit a bit all over the place in the timeline.

    Finished The Bell in the Fog by Lev AC Rosen. Second in a series, but works just fine as a standalone. Historical LGBTQIA±based mystery set during the Lavender Scare. Quick read, enjoyable if you don’t mind bittersweet complexities.
