Holidays are over! Happy New Year!

I didnโ€™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 am slowly reading through Metro 2033 in Russian, and after more than a year I am only halfway done. ๐Ÿ˜‘

I think I spend too much time in a dictionary, where I am clicking through entries when I donโ€™t understand a single word (or I am just not 100% sure about itโ€™s meaning). Also I think on few occassions I have seen few words that are completely made up (mostly non-existing word forms) by Dmitriy, because even Google Search didnโ€™t show anything up :P

Yeah, made up words can be a issue when reading in another language. I tried reading Harry Potter in Spanish and all the made-up words in that made it a bit difficult.
