Not much change at my end. A bit further in the books, but still reading the same books:
-
Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken
-
The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll
-
The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson, 3rd book in the 2nd era of Mistborn
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Finished The Strength of the Few by James Islington on Monday.
I need some time to digest. I don’t know if I’m gonna get anything else read this week as I need a palate cleanser from reading so many heavy and dark books lately, but I also can’t imagine anything but a direct sequel to be a satisfying follow-up after that book.
That one has been on my list for a bit. I read the Licanius trilogy by the same author and loved it.
If you liked Licanius, good chance you’ll love Hirarchy.
Just finished The Will of the Many on Monday and started Strength. There’s a lot going on in this second book and I’m only 10% in
The end of The Will of the Many really puts a spin on everything that happened prior, and The Strength of the Few runs with it and it’s insane. I don’t know how Islington does this, his books are amazingly paced and plotted.
I have to admit, I had to take periodic breaks while reading Strength, no spoilers, but it’s extremely involved with separate concurrent plots that are all in depth.
Yeah I listen to audiobooks and the interweaving plotlines with similarly named characters is confusing
Trying to remain spoiler free here, but how does the audio book handle the… context switching, shall we say, when there’s a perspective change? I’m curious since I recommended the series to my wife who also enjoys audio books.
On the written novel there was a icon below the chapter header to signify.
No helper audio to indicate the difference.
a different narrator, for example, would REALLY help
