A very busy week, didn’t get to do any reading at all.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening lately?
A reminder about our Book Bingo. Take look, if you haven’t already.
I am currently listening to Good Omens, Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman
Iam sure its great, but i have trouble to actively listen during the evening currently. but that’s a me problem.
Reading
Dracula, Bram Stoker not my first time reading it, so glossing over lines isnt a huge problem, but this book is just comfortably creepy.
Been reading Dune, almost done then I’m reading Dune Messiah. Working to finish the whole series by the end of the year.
I have not seen any of the movies.
weird mix, but Kiki’s Delivery Service during the day and Infinite Jest before bed.
Didn’t know the anime was based on the book, and that there are sequels to this too. Going to check them out.
Currently reading:
- Slewfoot (book, made 15% progress though!)
- Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (book)
- Chainsaw Man (manga, volume 7)
Finished:
- Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san (manga)
- Chainsaw Man (manga, volume 1-6)
Finally managed to at least finished one manga. I felt that Slewfoot was starting to become a stagnation, like it felt as if the story wasn’t really moving forward. However, I’m now on a turning point and I’m curious how the story will proceed now. I spoiler-tagged where, I’m in the story since it is a huge spoiler for the entire story. So only read it if you have read the entire book, don’t even open it when you are reading it.
I’m at the page where they want to:
spoiler
arrest Abitha on suspicion on being a witch and she obviously refused to.
I’ve started Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law again. I got maybe halfway through it a few years ago but wasn’t feeling it. It might have been because the narrator didn’t click with me, so this time I’m reading rather than listening. I’m also about 80% through Sanderson’s The Way of Kings, I wasn’t not enjoying it up to this point but it’s really picking up now.
Other than those there’s the usual slew of series I’m wading through that never seem to end, Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Mercy Thompson, In Death, Incryptid. I’ve got ebooks of everything and I basically rotate chapter by chapter on my tablet, taking a break for an old book club podcast whenever I’m up to the right place in The Way of Kings (The Duke and Duchess Book Club - they did Kingkiller Chronicles, Gentleman Bastards, Stormlight Archives and Malazan Book of the fallen).
