Holidays are over! Happy New Year!

I didn’t get much to read over the holidays, but I finished The Black Company by Glen Cook. The story was interesting but the way it is written made it hard for me to read. Still, going to continue with the trilogy and see if second book is any better in that regard.

Currently reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. Loving the book. The series just keeps getting better and better.

What about you? What have you been reading or listening?

I’m working through The Last Unicorn.

Dead Beat is sooo good (“Polka will never die”). It’s often a suggested book for someone to try out the series because it was written and published right before the SciFi TV series was coming out. So Butcher did a some work to smooth out stuff that relied on knowledge from earlier books and he made it pretty seamless.

The Last Unicorn looks interesting. Going to check it out.

Yeah, the book is pretty good. Hope rest of the series stay like that too.

It doesn’t, it gets even better. Even the community-perceived weak spots in the future have only grown on me.

That’s great to hear. I am almost at the end of the book. I am liking the character developments in Blood Rites and this. Would love to see where it goes in the future.
