Finished Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It’s first of three novellas written between book 2 and 3 of Cytoverse series.

Finished ReDawn, the next novella after Sunreach, by same authors.

Before reading these novellas, I considered them side stories, which may help expand the universe and give background info about other characters, but nothing big in main scheme of things, but the way story has progressed in these, anyone who miss these will missing out on a lot.

Of course, I have yet to read the next novel, so maybe it will cover some of the important bits, let’s see.

After the novellas, I have started Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher, book 8 of Dresden Files. These novels keep getting longer, if I recall correctly, the first few were around 300 or so pages, this one is over 550 pages. Not that I am complaining, they are a fun read, but just an observation.

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

    I’ve just started A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. I saw it on the shelf at the library yesterday and said, “Hmmm, I remember when this came out and I forgot to read it.” So, 24 years later I’m finally reading it. So far, it’s really good. I enjoy books that are playful with the reader, self-aware narrators, etc. and this one starts that way right off the bat. You’re even invited to send your copy of the book back to the publisher in exchange for something else! It’s truly a heartbreaking story but with a huge sense of humor. *edit: Well, I finished AHWOSG faster than expected because I couldn’t put it down all weekend. I’ve started two more: Salem’s Lot by Stephen King and About Grace by Anthony Doerr.
