Where did the Tuesday go? Well, as the power vested in me as a mod of this community, I am declaring today a Tuesday! So, without further ado:

Finished The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

Loved the book. A quick and very enjoyable read. If rest of the trilogy is similar, going to get the whole series.

Read Small Favor by Jim Butcher, 10th book in the Dresden Files series. Liked in much better than the previous book White Night. Full of action, without much dull moments. Stakes keep getting higher and higher, but we are starting to see some bigger picture.

Currently reading Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. It's short stories in Dresden Files universe. I started it after White Night, but only reading stories that are before the book I have read, so this will not be completed for quite a while.

These don't cover any Bingo squares, except maybe Eazy, Breazy, Read-zie

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!

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

If you’ve got access to Calibre on a computer you can also download and convert your purchases on Amazon for your kobo. That feature is going away soon though from my understanding.

Thanks for the heads up. Fortunately, I've already transferred everything over.

Oh, why is that? I wonder if some issue from Amazon (like specs change, or some kind of DRM).

Guess that just means I shouldn't buy any ebooks from Amazon!

I’m not sure. I got it from here: https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2024/10/20/amazon-removed-download-and-transfer-option-for-new-kindles/

That said, I’m also happy to answer Kobo questions. I’ve had one for a couple years now and love it.

I still have old Sony Pocket reader, but I am keeping an eye on Kobo for my next one, whenever it completely dies.
