Finished The Passage by Justin Cronin. First book in The Passage trilogy. Overall, liked the book. The start was slow, giving me Stephen King vibes, but it picked up the pace as it went along. It was too long though, and can't get myself to start next one right away.

Read couple of son's books to change pace. The Ghoul in the School by Marcus Rashford and Alex Falase-Koya, the second book in The Breakfast Club Adventures. And Unexpected Super Spy by Zanib Mian, second book in Planet Omar series.

Also read, and just finished 5 mins before this post, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson, book 3 of his secret projects, and part of Cosmere, but a standalone book, which can be read without any knowledge of his other work. I loved this book. Like most of his "secret projects" books, couldn't put it down once I picked it up.

Currently Reading... nothing. Just finished the previous book and haven't decided what to start next... leaning towards next Dresden Files novel though... let's see.

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

Nice! It's been a while since I've read any of his stuff. I should be done with my current book soon, what are a few of your favorites from him?

A fun standalone one is Hous of Suns, not part of any of his larger collections. In the Revelation Space series, Chasm City is a good one which can also be done by itself, or The Prefect (formerly Aurora Rising, not sure what the details of the name situation are) which is the first of a trilogy set within the Rev Space series and is tangentially related to Chasm City.
