Finished Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

spoiler for book 2I thought Bea will show up in the second book, though it looks like she is actually dead now. Carl has a point if she was still alive some show will have found her by now.

It looks like they are going to do something in future books and split up Carl and Donut. Not a fan of this in most books, so let's see how it goes.

Started Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski. Book 2 of The Witcher series. This is the second short story collection, after which comes the 5 book novel series. I read the series quite a while ago, but never finished all the novels, so re-reading the earlier books to finally complete the series.

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

Finished Martha Wells' "The Death of the Necromancer". It was okay. Honestly, it dragged a bit.

I'm loving "Over the Wine Dark Sea" by H.N. Turteltaub. 40% through it, buuuut, I'm taking a break because

Finally reading "Children of Strife" by Adrian Tchaikovsky! Book 4 of his I don't actually know what this series is called. Is it Children of Time, named after Book 1? Anyways, I didn't care much for Book 3, but I'm into this so far, gonna fly through it fast

I wouldn't blink if you said "Children of Time series" to me in a conversation.

I really enjoyed the series. I do think Children of Time itself was the best of the lot, but I think I enjoyed Book 3 more than you did. "We're going on an adventure!" made me laugh.

Someone on here made a video game that makes me think of the starship from the book. Dead Reckoning I think?
