Finished Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. First half was pretty dense and slow, but second half, when things were getting obvious, and plans finally getting into motion, were very interesting, and was able to read them in just a few days.

It meets criteria for at least 3 different Bingo boxes, not sure where to place it. Would decide it later. ( @JaymesRS@literature.cafe We can do that right? Move them around different boxes after reading more books?)

Now I have just started Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It's first of three novellas, which are between book 2 and 3. (Well, third novella is generally recommended to be read after book 3, but that's a separate topic). It's a small book, so hopefully will be able to finish it soon.

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


A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post

We will be unfeaturing those posts now, so they won't be sticky on the top anymore. They will be mentioned in each weekly thread though, and you can also check them in community sidebar.

I finished Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn and really enjoyed it. If you struggle with dyslexia or are an adapted dyslexic reader like my wife, the last ¾ of the book gets pretty tough to read. I’m reading Swordheart by T. Kingfisher now. It’s the last book in her World of the White Rat collection I hadn’t read yet.

As to moving books around, absolutely! That’s in fact what I’ve had to do in the past Bingos when I had better options for some squares that left easier ones open as I went through the year.

Ella Minnow Pea sounds like an interesting book. Will have to check it out.
