Had a busy week, wasn’t able to read much. Couldn’t even go through all the responses from last week’s thread.
Still reading Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. I have read first 40 pages or so, and the book hold up pretty well. I am enjoying what I am reading, and my kid is loving them too.
Also started The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. I don’t start multiple books at a time, but I had to go somewhere where I would have few hours free, and I realised I would finish the Famous Five book in an hour or so, and didn’t want to take multiple books, so took Alloy of Law with me.
I am about half-way done, and it’s interesting to see how the world has evolved, and the myths / history of the world. Also the changes in allomancy are interesting. Looking forward to finishing it soon.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I’m still reading Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight book 2). It’s going great so far! Some moves that I really wasn’t expecting from Sanderson. And amazing characters all around.
Currently I’m a few chapters into Wind and Truth. It’s the last book in the first arc of the Stormlight Archives and I’ve been enjoying it so far. No major revelations have been made yet but the story’s going at a great pace.
I’m just about done with Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson, I’ve read most of his work and this might be his strongest work. It’s clear from the Mars and science in the capitol trilogies that the man is obsessed with stone age culture so it’s an obvious choice of setting for him and unlike much of the rest of his work it’s a simple and self contained story.
I’m also a few chapters into Julia by Sandra Newman, a retelling of 1984 from Julia’s pov. Very evocative and well written so far, looking forward to the rest of the book.
I’m still deep into He who fights with monsters by Shirtaloon. Need to pick up some pace though, when I want to finish my bingo on time. Still two entire books to go!
Just about finishing listening to The Kremlin’s Candidate. And just started reading (yet again) The Lord Of The Rings. This time on Kindle.
- The Critique of Digital Capitalism by Eileen Joy
- Shakespeare for Children by Charles and Mary Lamb
Still working on Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. I’m finally halfway through! It’s still enjoyable, and not slow at all, but I’m starting to get impatient to finish it; I might have to try a bit harder to find time to read.
