Finished The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy! Finally!

It was interesting read, but too long. Too much back story and details that could have been condensed quite a bit. As it is, I didn't like the fist quarter, second quarter was okay, third was interesting, and really enjoyed the last one.

Still one book remaining in the trilogy, but need a break, will come back to after a little while.

Read some more stories from The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft.

Now reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

It's my first Drizzt, and first D&D novel and has been on my wishlist for a very long time. Just started it so can't really say much about it, but enjoying it so far.

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

Finished Words of Radiance, started Oathbringer.

They hit pretty hard back to back with the end of one and right out of the gate in the other.

Getting ready for Wind and Truth?

I might have just bought the whole series as hardcovers (target has pretty solid pricing for their books, even the preorder of Wind and Truth was only $25 shipped) as part of a binge inspired by random friends in another community convincing me I should have physical copies of some of my favorites, lol. But yeah, I'll definitely be impatiently waiting in the finale for a good month.
