I'm also reading The Way of Kings, which I started back in like July. I'm in more of a podcast phase at the moment, I've finished one book so far this year as opposed to the 20 or so I'd read by this point last year ๐คทโโ๏ธ
That explains why I haven't seen you around. ๐
Happens to me sometimes too, The Better Part of Valor that I was finished couple of weeks ago, took me couple of months, I think. And it was only 300 or so pages. The Way of Kings on the other hand is a pretty meatier book, which I have to re-read soon to get ready for the upcoming fifth book!
What podcasts are you listening to these days? I used to listen to a few during commute, but now that I (luckily) work from home, haven't listened to one in a long time.
Thinking about it, I'm reading the exact same stuff I was about 6 months ago, just later in each series. The Way of Kings, Dresden Files, Incryptid, In Death and Alex Verus. Maybe I just need a change of scenery.
For podcasts it's The Weekly Planet - comic book-related media news, Knowledge Fight - basically Infowars fact checking, My Dad Wrote a Porno - a guy reads his dad's erotica to a couple of friends and it's impossibly funny, The C Team - a weekly D&D game from a few years back, The Duke and Duchess book club - the reason I started Stormlight Archive, and Dead Meat - horror movie reviews & discussion.
It's all to fill downtime at work, I just got sick of powering through 2-3 audiobooks a fortnight and struggle to get immersed in video games when I'm not relaxing at home.
My Dad wrote a Porno is sooo good.
It really is. I got into it during book 3 and listened to most of the original run, but this is the firs time I've gone back for a relisten. I put it on while my gf was in the car so it's turned into our driving radio whenever we're together.
