Finished Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It's first of three novellas written between book 2 and 3 of Cytoverse series.

Finished ReDawn, the next novella after Sunreach, by same authors.

Before reading these novellas, I considered them side stories, which may help expand the universe and give background info about other characters, but nothing big in main scheme of things, but the way story has progressed in these, anyone who miss these will missing out on a lot.

Of course, I have yet to read the next novel, so maybe it will cover some of the important bits, let's see.

After the novellas, I have started Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher, book 8 of Dresden Files. These novels keep getting longer, if I recall correctly, the first few were around 300 or so pages, this one is over 550 pages. Not that I am complaining, they are a fun read, but just an observation.

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

I fished up Swordheart by T. Kingfisher and really enjoyed it. There are potential sequels out there to be written but the whole collection is fun.

This week my optimistic goal is Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed and if I get that far Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees. It’s a busy week though so we’ll see how far I get. Both are for bingo squares.

Proven Guilty is one of my favorites and sets up a bunch of stuff that is important “later”.

Yeah, really liking it so far. Started much darker than other books though.

Good luck with reaching your reading goal!
