Still reading The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the series. I am more than halfway through, so should be able to finish it this week.

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.

The story is heavily rooted in LGBTQIA+ community/culture, and the experience of existing as a gay person at the time. There's a bit of romance, as well.

To be clear, though: despite its historical bones and the very real fears of its characters, this isn't a cruel book. No slurs or anything so far, and even the police raids at clubs have been mild.
