I have been a bit busy, and with not too much motivation to do much, so am still at the same place as last week.

Still reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.

I did read a bit more of it though, and it was interesting to see the antagonist and some of the other characters who appeared.

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~~ only ~~5~~ 4 months to go!

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

I started Victor LaValle's The Devil in Silver for the "Institutional" square of Book Bingo (and it seems well-written so far, don't get me wrong), but I'm taking a break in the middle to read some lighter fare.

I'm just trying to get through one row for Book Bingo instead of scattershot reading throughout the card, but my focus is all over the place.

Which row are you closest to completing?

C! I know it's a gimme, with the free square in the middle, but I just started my last book in that row (the free square), The Scarlet Pimpernel (hard mode from the "Older Than You Are" square). I'm about halfway done now.

After that, I guess I'll just read through as much of the card as I can before the end of April, while taking breaks for whatever catches my fancy. I just read a couple of fantasy novels by Margaret Owen that I very much enjoyed, and she has another book coming out in a few months.
