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?

The Eyre Affair, by Jasper Fforde. It's... Okay. Not that great to me, but I'm not a fan of villains chewing up the scenery.

It's pithy and innocuous though, and not without its charms so I'll definitely finish it.

Oh, I saw the book at shop recently and got it because of Jasper Fforde. His Shades of Grey books is pretty interesting, have been waiting for a sequel for a while now though.

Do share how you like it when you have finished the book.

Coincidentally, I just saw a new releases list from February that had the sequel on it: it's called Red Side Story.

Oooh, that's great!

Though, it did take him 15 years to write the sequel, so I am going to wait and see if the story is finished, if not, going to wait for it to finish before I jump back in.
