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

Just a few pages remaining now, would've finished it, but kid got a book from his school library, and wanted me to read it too, so reading Gangsta Granny by David Williams.

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

I agree. I enjoyed it, sort of, but not enough to match the hype. It's a clunky, stumbling book that rides heavily on its core mystery.

It actually put me off reading the sequels for a long time, but I did eventually get round to it, and I'm glad I did. They're both far better reads. The second book in particular is very good; and the third is gloriously strange.
