John Scalzi - When The Moon Hits Your Eye. Very interesting choice after reading Project Hail Mary. Another outer space mystery with the entire world trying to figure out what happened. I love John Scalzi books so I'm interested in seeing how this book goes.

Listening to Stormlight Archives - Rhythm of War while falling asleep. Kalladin in his own Die Hard situation is pretty awesome. I use books I've read before as something to fall asleep to because it stops me from ruminating or having an ear worm bug me for hours while trying to sleep. I now fall asleep in 5-10 minutes most nights. Sometimes it can still take over an hour to fall asleep, but at least I don't stress out about not sleeping since I'm at least enjoying a story.

    I'll eventually do something similar for Stormlight. I'm listening to WoT for first time, but read it a few years back. I listen while I run. It's good, because sometimes when I run I get tired, I guess, and don't pay the greatest enough attention, so I wouldn't want to be listening to material I wasn't familiar with. I hate having to rewind.

    That's exactly how I got started with my sleep listening I wanted to reread WoT but was dreading the slog in the middle. So I figured if it put me to sleep, that's no problem! It worked out really well and the slog really wasn't too bad although there were some sections I just didn't bother rewinding to listen to.
