A day late, but better late than never!
I finished Grave Peril, third book of Dresden Files, by Jim Butcher. The series has start picking up. This book is much higher quality than the first two.
Currently, I am reading two books.
-
The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. I have been using bullet journal for nearly a decade, but never got around to reading the book, so finally got it. While there’s nothing new in the method, the “why” are interesting, and should help me be more productive.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Man, what a book. I think this is one of the best book I have read recently. I am more than half-way, and loving every moment of it.
What about all of you? What have you been reading?
Book 3 of Mistborn, The Hero of Ages. Really loving it so far, book 2 took it’s sweet time though.
Re-reading the entire Cradle series by Will Wight. Up to book 11 out of 12 so almost there!
Is the series finished now? I liked the first couple of books, but was waiting for him to finish it.
Yes, Book 12 “Waybound” is the last in the Cradle series. So go and enjoy the books!
The Three Body Problem - Still plodding along through. I’m probably 2/3 done.
I haven’t, but I plan to. I actually did like the first one a lot. I’ve seen it criticized for being a slog, my view is that it just keeps piling on question marks until the very end and then ties everything together with an incredible reveal.
The Dresden Files is tied with The Dark Tower series as my favorite series. It gets progressively better as it goes along. I hope you’ll love it. It’s amazing.
Sadly I’m only reading a textbook for class right now. But I’m about to start A Stitch In Time, the Garak/star trek novel.
Yeah, Dresden Files is really good. I have read first 5 books a long time ago. Now plan to read the whole series, just hope the series is finished by the time I reach the ending.
I have never read any Star Trek novel, A Stitch in Time looks interesting. Let us know how you like it, when you get around to it.
And don’t worry. Textbooks are very important, you can always read other books later on.
Dresden won’t be done anytime soon, sadly. The whole series is currently at 17 books (not counting “Side Jobs” or “Brief Cases” short story collections) and planned for 23 books total, with no idea when #18 is coming yet.
Really? I was quite sure the next two books will be last. I should look it up again.
Interesting, I love The Dark Tower so maybe I should check this out, I haven’t heard of it before now.
Also does your name have anything to do with Lost? xD
They’re not really similar, but Dresden is so good. Definitely check it out!
Alas, no, Dharma as in the philosophical concept. Though now I really wish I’d intended the double meaning. I loved Lost. Lol.
I will check it out and I have just finished a re-watch of Lost so it is fresh in my mind. Wishful thinking on my part but glad you also enjoyed it :D
A Day Of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon.
This is my second book I’ve read by her and the writing is just so freaking wonderful to trot through. She has such a way with words that really makes it comfortable to sit through a massive story. It’s also great to see the beginnings of The story that comes after this one (Priory of the orange tree)
Ah, I have heard of Priory of the Orange Tree, but doesn’t that come before “A Day of Fallen Night”?
Yes, it was written before but story wise Orange Tree takes place after. I may have to reread it after Fallen Night just to have a new appreciation for how the characters came to be even though they are both considered Standalone books.
