I am currently listening to Good Omens, Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman

Iam sure its great, but i have trouble to actively listen during the evening currently. but that's a me problem.

Reading

Dracula, Bram Stoker not my first time reading it, so glossing over lines isnt a huge problem, but this book is just comfortably creepy.

weird mix, but Kiki's Delivery Service during the day and Infinite Jest before bed.

I've started Joe Abercrombie's The First Law again. I got maybe halfway through it a few years ago but wasn't feeling it. It might have been because the narrator didn't click with me, so this time I'm reading rather than listening. I'm also about 80% through Sanderson's The Way of Kings, I wasn't not enjoying it up to this point but it's really picking up now.

Other than those there's the usual slew of series I'm wading through that never seem to end, Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Mercy Thompson, In Death, Incryptid. I've got ebooks of everything and I basically rotate chapter by chapter on my tablet, taking a break for an old book club podcast whenever I'm up to the right place in The Way of Kings (The Duke and Duchess Book Club - they did Kingkiller Chronicles, Gentleman Bastards, Stormlight Archives and Malazan Book of the fallen).

Been reading Dune, almost done then I'm reading Dune Messiah. Working to finish the whole series by the end of the year.

I have not seen any of the movies.

Currently reading:

• Slewfoot (book, made 15% progress though!)
• Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (book)
• Chainsaw Man (manga, volume 7)

Finished:

• Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san (manga)
• Chainsaw Man (manga, volume 1-6)

Finally managed to at least finished one manga. I felt that Slewfoot was starting to become a stagnation, like it felt as if the story wasn't really moving forward. However, I'm now on a turning point and I'm curious how the story will proceed now. I spoiler-tagged where, I'm in the story since it is a huge spoiler for the entire story. So only read it if you have read the entire book, don't even open it when you are reading it.

I'm at the page where they want to:

Currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert. (I have not seen the movie yet--I want to read the book first.)

Currently listening to Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. I generally reserve audiobooks for things I have read. I don't like to reread things but I like listening to them and picking up on the stuff I missed (or in the case of the Dresden Files, forgot.)

Currently reading Proof of collusion : how Trump betrayed America

Listening to Brushfire - Expeditionary Force book 11 by Craig Alanson. Just finished Will Leave the Galaxy for Good by Yahtzee Croshaw.

I just finished up listening to Blood of Elves, from The Witcher series. I started with the third game when it came out, but I really love the world and the characters, so the books thus far have been very entertaining. I'm not sure I'd really care for them if I wasn't already immersed because of the game though.

My sister also just loaned me Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica. It takes place in a world where people cannot eat the meat of other animals anymore, so they have legalized cannibalism. I'm only a few chapters in so far, but it's pretty unnerving. I'm honestly not sure if I'll be able to read it all the way through.

Finished A Wizard of Earthsea for bingo. I wasn't really in the right headspace for the narrative style, which made reading it more of a slog than I think it deserved, but I did enjoy the story. It's not hard to see why Hayao Miyazaki wanted to adapt it: the themes, presentation, and all the little slice of life moments really feel tailor-made for a Ghibli film. (I haven't seen Tales from* Earthsea.)

Definitely qualifies for: Now a Major Motion Picture, Older Than You Are (1968), Local to You hard mode (Oregon), (alt) A Change in Perspective

Started The Last Gifts of the Universe by Rory August last night. Only a few pages in, but it's light and quippy so far, without being annoying.

Just finished The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

I read the bits covered in the movie and what actually happened is more unbelievable than the movie!

Trudi Canavan - Thief's Magic.

I really enjoy young adult fantasy to take my mind off of work.

An extremely busy month, so I'm just reading some Apollinaire.

Working through the Matthew Richardson section at the moment following a recommendation on here. Excellent stuff.

I finished The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time book 8). Not a bad book, but definitely slow and uneventful compared to previous entries.

While I wait for the next book to become available, I've picked up Prince of Fools by Mark Lawrence (Red Queen's War book 1). This will be my fourth trilogy by him and I've loved them all so far.

Seven Year Witch by Angela M. Sanders.

Last night I just finished the second book in "The way of the shadows" trilogy.

So far I've been enjoying it! And I have quite the list of books to go through too

Due to my work I'll often do an audiobook. Currently finishing another run of the Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix. It's a unique take on the pseudo-modern fantasy genre, though potentially darker.

The Rainmaker by John Grisham
