Finished Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. It was a surprisingly easy read, and while I remembered the main plot, I didn't remember any of the details, so enjoyed the whole read.

Just finished the book moments ago (which is also why the thread is late), so haven't yet decided what to read next.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Mistborn is such an easy and pleasant read! It was an excellent gateway into Sanderson's books for me.

I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and absolutely loved it. There were a couple nitpicky science things I had issues with, but overall I thought it was an amazing read.

Now I've started The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher. It's a historical fiction about a gay American woman who opens a bookstore in 1920s Paris. Finally getting that Bookception bingo square filled with this one.

Edit: As I read further, I realized this book, while fiction, is very much about a real person and real events that happened in the 1920s. This book is about Sylvia Beach.

Yeah, I loved Mistborn, but I was just not sure if I will enjoy the re-read, still loved it. Not a perfect book, but a pretty good one.

Ah yeah, I've reread it twice. It held up both times, as did the full series. By the way, if your goal is to read mistborn era 2, I recommend getting your hands on Mistborn: Secret History and reading it after The Bands of Mourning.

I have it, it's on my list of Era 2 books. Thanks for the recommendation!
