Finished Mistborn: Secret Histories novella. Don't want to spoil, but it was really exciting to read this secret history.

Read Redshirts by John Scalzi. A sci-fi about the "redshirts" in a Star-Trek like universe. Highly recommended for any Star Trek fan.

Started Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire. First book in her October Daye urban fantasy series. This is my first Seanan McGuire book, have heard a lot about her.

Still skimming through The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll.

Putting Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken on hold for a bit, shouldn't have started multiple non-fiction at once. Will pick it up after finishing the Bullet Journal Method.

Bingo squares covered: Short and Sweed, Award Winner (Hard mode)

Are these any good? I've read books by a few writers last year who seem to churn out 3-4 books a year, and reading them you can tell they didn't spend time proof reading or developing the plot.

As with any genre, some authors are stronger than others. There's a lot of trash, but there's some really good stuff as well. Dungeon Crawler Carl, for example, has my highest recommendation.
