Still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin. There are some interesting points in it, though not implementing anything right now, just reading the book.

Finished volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.

Started The Passage by Justin Cronin. Saw it recommended here a few times, and ordered the trilogy, books are so much longer than I expected. Each book can probably be divided in 2 and still be on slightly thicker end of average book size. I am still at the start, only 60-70 pages yet. Getting a slight feel of Stephen King books. Let's see how it progresses.

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

Loved Mistborn so much. It is what got me into Sanderson!

Just finished it yesterday... Damn what a cliffhanger the second book ended on! And that twist... Damn!

Are his other novels good? (besides the mistborn books)

If you like mistborn then I can't recommend enough his other works, I loved them, although I'm yet to get through all of them.

Elantris, Stormlight Archive and White Sand are all set within the same cosmere as Mistborn so will feel familiar. Stormlight Archive is particularly good but I would recommend checking out any of his stuff based on what I have read so far.

I'm still yet to read the last book of the 2nd part of the Mistborn series that is set more in the wild west kind of era. I need to go back and refresh myself on what is going on in that too but I loved the change of back drop but in the same world further in the future from the first three books.

That sounds great; I read that some other books all take place in the same universe as mistborn, which is very cool.

I'll give the books you mentioned a go after I finish the third mistborn book, thanks!
