Still 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).

Book is pretty fast paced and full of action. Really enjoying it.

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

So, after reading this, I finally decided to buy the first Deathlands book right away, it's about time I at least check it out.

Well, it turns out they aren't available anywhere. Not even as ebooks. Only audiobooks are available. Amazon (not my place of choice to buy ebooks) also has only book 48 and 49 available, rest are audiobooks only.

On a positive side, one less series to worry about!

Thanks for the recommendation. He is around 10, and likes horror / spooky stuff. Will get first book or two and see if he likes them.

Infinite series seems pretty interesting. Will check them out in a few months, hopefully they have better availability than Deathlands ๐Ÿ˜€

Oh, that's a shame to hear about Deathlands, can't win them all I guess!

In terms of Goosebumps the two titles that stand out in my mind from when I was a child (not that I remember the plots now) are Monster Blood and Night Of The Living Dummy. I believe both of them have a few books continuing the stories as they were popular too, so those may be good ones to start with :)

Yeah. BTW there are two different audiobooks, one are simple / plain, and other are dramatic something. Which one are you listening to?

Thanks for the info about Goosebumps, will check which ones I have at my local shop.

Yes there are, I listen to the Graphic Audio version which is the "dramatised" version that is fully voice acted for each character. There was one section of what I've listened to so far that it substituted the normal version where the uploaded must have been missing a file and it was jarring and not enjoyable comparatively.

I love Graphic Audio adaptations for anything where I can get them, I've listened to a lot of Sanderson books in this format as well as a few other things like that Gideon Sable book and I always prefer it to just one person reading.

And no worries, let us know how you get on with them :D
