Welcome back after the holidays! Hope you had a good time, and your new year is starting well!

I didn’t get much time to read, so still reading The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. Third and final book the of Mistborn series (first era).

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

A Stephen King book that’s not 1000+ pages? I should take a look at it!

For a slight change of pace, I’m reading Shou Arai’s manga At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender before starting the second book of The Wheel of Time, The Great Hunt.

Interesting. Is the warship from starship’s warship or is it antagonist of the book?

Been reading For Whom The Belle Tolls (2024) by Jaysea Lynn. I am positively surprised by this book. Easily a five star book based on the first 25% I have read so far.

It’s a story about Lily who dies and ends up in Afterlife as a soul, like everyone else does. As it turns out, Heaven, Hell, deities of Greek mythology, Valhalla, and all the religions you know and don’t know, are real and they all co-exists in Afterlife. I quite like the humor and the rich and imaginative world the author has created.
