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?

I don't read every series every six months. That's still pretty frequent. But there are some favorites (Karen Rose, some of CJ Archer, probably will be a bunch of Sanderson) where, when I don't have anything immediately queued up and am looking for my next read, I see them and decide to dive in again.

I think it's probably Andrew Child being a co-author now. But the more recent ones have conspiracies where technology plays a much more central role, because that's where the world has evolved. Reacher is still Reacher and a borderline technophobe, but it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for modern bad actors to ignore the internet and I think he covers it in a pretty fair way.
