Finished listening to the mistborn trilogy which I enjoyed a lot. Started listening to secret history which is phenomenal so far. Loving the alternative perspective and the sense of humour. It’s really making me enjoy Kelsier in a way I didn’t in the main series.

Done. Now I can read the wiki without fear of spoilers.

I read “Elder Race” by Adrian Tchaikovsky last night. I really liked the two different perspectives on the “magic” that was very well done. Mixing SF and Fantasy in this way made for a very fun read. Would recommend and also it is short.

There are currently two interesting book Humble Bundles:
- Neal Shusterman–I recommend the Arc of Scythe (“utopian” YA scifi with some interesting takes on AI and still interesting even after chatGPT) , it is worth it for that alone, I haven’t read the rest, so I am not sure I am getting it… has anyone read more of his stuff and can give recommendations?
- Ursula K le Guin–I already have a bunch of those but it is a huge bundle and I am quite tempted despite having Earthsea, Dispossessed (yeah that one is on the unfinished pile, I never got beyond a few pages. I should try again.) and a few of her non-fiction writings already.

I’ve picked up The Saints of Salvation by Peter F. Hamilton. I read Salvation Lost about 3 years ago but don’t really remember much. Still enjoying it though.

I woke up earlier than I wanted to this morning so wrapped up The Saints of Salvation.
I’ve seen a lot of chat online about the quality of this trilogy. It was fine, not up there with Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained which got me into Hamilton’s work.
I realise I was in the middle of three of his series. At least that’s down to two now with Night Without Stars and The Naked God left to read.

Finally finished The Sunlit Man (Secret Project #4) last night despite a bad headache… so I can start listening/reading/devouring Wind and Truth today. Yay Stormlight #5 is out!
Am I still a Sanderson fan-girl? Yes, I am. Not enough to follow everything he does or having read every single book he has written. But the Cosmere stuff? I think I’ve read 95% of that at least once. And I am saying 95% because I am a fan but not enough of one to devour all the news all the time there might be some short-story or novella out there I have missed

Just blitzed through Starter Villain by Scalzi after picking it up the other week. A breezy romp.
Not sure what’s next.

Me too! Literally just finished the coda (the man loves his codas) today.
And I also have no idea what I’m going to read next.

Quite enjoyed “How to become a Dark Lord (and die trying)” by Django Wexler. Must read the Scalzi.
