I'm slogging through a few books right now...

 

Fiction:

Malice by John Gwynne

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

 

Writing related non-fiction:

Dreams and Wishes by Susan Cooper

A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War by Joseph Loconte

 

I do a combo of physical books, Audible and Libby. Very occasionally ebooks.

Bran Sand, my beloved. You'll have to let me know what you think and I'm very curious about the second nonfiction you mentioned. Probably about the war, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein?

I’m reading Assassin’s Code by Jonathan Mayberry.   Book 4 of the Joe Ledger series.   Pretty good 

 

also reading Tne Gray Man by Mark Greaney.   Re-read for me but good story to get lost in.

I've read Sanderson's Legion series and The Emperor's Soul - all very good. I knew it would take me forever to get through the Stormlight Archive so I've been putting it off (I've been stocking them up on Audible). So far not a huge fan of the narrators unfortunately.

 

Yes, the Loconte book is about the socio-economic and philosophical state of Europe and the world leading up to and during WW1 (and WW2) and how it influenced their writing. So far pretty interesting. Listening on Libby.

Stormlight is long, for sure. I’m fortunate that I’ve always been a very fast reader so I can mow through things pretty quickly. I used to listen to more audiobooks at my previous job but I don’t so much any more.

 

I’ll have to see if I can get that at our local library!
