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!

Almost through Kinsey Millhone. Getting to the end of R is for Ricochet (There’s no Z as Grafton died before finishing it and didn’t want anyone else writing in her name).
Ended up at the library and borrowed Tower of Fools by Andrzej Sapkowski (the author of the books the Witcher is pulled from) and The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold (an author my brother has suggested in the past) after some wandering. We’ll see if I end up diving into those or spend more time re-reading Sanderson (either secret projects or Stormlight) with free time from the holidays. I made it a little into Tower of Fools and am not sure if it’s going to catch my interest. After an info-dump prologue, there’s a really oddly written sex scene, and it just didn’t work for me. I’m not anti-sex in books. I frequently suggest Karen Rose and I think all of those have explicit sex scenes (it’s probably more “most”, but whatever). But IDK. Might see if the McMaster Bujold one catches my interest better, or just read the physical secret projects now that I finally got them.
