Have been pretty busy last couple of weeks, so still reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.

Also started Wandering Inn, have read a few chapters, and while interesting, I am not a big fan of the main character. Maybe I have read too many (web) novels that I can't understand when people don't act like typical isekai protagonist, but still...

The world building is interesting, want to know more about what's happening. Will probably try to read at least the first volume and then decide whether I want to continue or not.

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~~ 4 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.

Whoops yeah, responded to the wrong comment 🤦 Thanks for answering! Have you written any historical fiction? Makes me think of that Rome, Sweet Rome thing from Reddit a while back that had a big moment and then disappeared into the bowels of Hollywood or something.

Nah, historical fiction would require more academic rigor than I'm willing to put in, at least for something that I'd be satisfied with. I'd never get over describing the wrong kind of house or class relations or public attitudes. It'd haunt me every night of my life. Fantasy is my home.
