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!

Dreary is a good word to describe The Hero of Ages. I still love it, but the hopeless feeling is wearing.

I finished Age of Assassins by RJ Barker and I loved it! It does have a bit of a debut author feel, but was well-plotted, with fascinating characters and world building. Some twists were predictable, but some I did not see coming at all. I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

But the rest of the trilogy may have to wait a while because I started The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. My friend has been hounding me to read Stormlight for months so I finally gave in. I'm only about 100 pages in so far, but I can already tell this world is massive and well thought out. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes!
