Finished The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. This was a very interesting book. Set about 300 years after the first era. The changes in the world, and to learn about some of the characters, it was all very interesting, and I am very glad that I re-read the first era before reading this.
Finished Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. The book was surprisingly good. I quite enjoyed it, and it didn't even feel old.
My kid is already on book 5. So, highly recommended your for your 9-12 year olds.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
There's a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven't started this year's Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are ~~still 6 months remaining~~ only 5 months to go!
For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
Got a batch of W40k books. Finished "Brutal Kunning", working on "Da Big Dakka" right now. Orks are brutal, hilarious, and almost philosophical at times, and I'm enjoying the stories from their perspective because they're the only ones really enjoying their lives in 40k (besides the poor grots...)
Nice. Recently got Eisenhorn omnibus, my first foray into W40K books. Haven't started it yet though.
Assuming I like the series, any recommendations where to next after that?
I'm new to the books myself, but the general consensus I've seen online is to read about the factions you'd like. That's why I picked Orks :) I got through a few chapters of Eisenhorn and it's, so far, not quite as action packed as the Ork books I've finished but IMO has much better world and character building.
