Finished The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King.

It was a nice book. Kind of YA, but fun to read. Pretty much a typical story of good vs bad, where good characters are super good and bad characters are super bad, with very few gray in between. Worth a read if you want a standalone fantasy novel that's quick to read.

Read The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. My first Scalzi novel and I loved it. A very light and easy to read sci-fi, with Kaiju in them. Going to get other Scalzi novels, may start with Old Man's War.

Finally got my order my Dresden Files comics / graphic novels. So read the first omnibus, which has the original Welcome to the Jungle and graphic adaptation of first two Dresden Files novels, Storm Front and Fool Mon.

Second omnibus has all original graphic novels novels though, but will get to them later.

Just started Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I have read it before, but it has been quite a while, so re-reading it before starting on the sequel series.

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

Covers One Less (Hard Mode), Older than You, Eazy, Breazy, Read-zie, and It takes two Bingo squares

Oooo I do love Mistborn!

This week for me has been pretty boring to report in this thread but I have exclusively read Deathlands books.

I've read 5 this week and I'm half way through the sixth which is the 32nd book, still enjoying it and just wanted to keep going with the story this week so did!

Book related I'm probably going to start editing the second Underwood and Flinch novel tonight down into a nice audio book experience.

5 books in a week! Nice! How many books are remaining?

Good luck with editing!

Wow. I guess it's a good thing I couldn't get these, otherwise I would still be reading them in a decade 😀
