Finished Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. First half was pretty dense and slow, but second half, when things were getting obvious, and plans finally getting into motion, were very interesting, and was able to read them in just a few days.

It meets criteria for at least 3 different Bingo boxes, not sure where to place it. Would decide it later. ( @JaymesRS@literature.cafe We can do that right? Move them around different boxes after reading more books?)

Now I have just started Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It's first of three novellas, which are between book 2 and 3. (Well, third novella is generally recommended to be read after book 3, but that's a separate topic). It's a small book, so hopefully will be able to finish it soon.

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


A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post

We will be unfeaturing those posts now, so they won't be sticky on the top anymore. They will be mentioned in each weekly thread though, and you can also check them in community sidebar.

I just got 'Yumi and the Nightmare Painter' today, reading the secret projects in order, so should be getting to The Sunlit Man soon after that.

Assuming you have read the all four secret project books, which one did you like the most?

I have Yumi ready to listen to soon but I didn't realise there was a connection / order for these books?

Reading them in order isn't required. Some of the books are loosely connected to his other Cosmere stuff, but only one of them really leans into it (I won't say which just in case)

Ah cool, thanks for the info. I look forward to anything Sanderson!

Favorite was a tie between Tress and Yumi. I really liked the whole "Princess Bride" vibe from Tress, and Yumi was just cute and cheesy. Followed by Sunlit Man and then Frugal Wizard. I loved them all though! You?

Well, I have only read first two yet, and they were both pretty good. Though yeah, the writing style and vibe of Tress was much more enjoyable.
