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?

The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey. Great books and I enjoyed the show as well.

I already have it on my wishlist, really looking forward to it as well since I enjoyed the show. Thank you!

Highly recommend The Expanse. The two writers of the novels were behind the show. They made some changes, but they might have actually improved things. But the books are fantastic. If you get a bit put off by the 'magic' in the first book..... give it some time, there's arguably science there. And the rest of it is pretty much on the harder science side of things (i.e. no warp drive, no transporter, stuff like that)
