A day late, but better late than never!

Finished Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher. Book 8 of Dresden Files. Loving how the series is progressing. How the characters are growing, and how the stakes keep getting higher and higher.

Currently Reading Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson. Book 3 of Cytoverse / Skyward series. It continues from after Book 2, and we haven't come across the events of the novellas yet. I am interested to see how they will cover those.

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

I'm currently on Winter's Heart by Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time book 9). My brain is having trouble with how long this series is. I've felt that I must be near the end since book 4. This book has been going extra slowly for me.

I also recently finished Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. It was amazingly well-done. Not a "fun" read for sure but gripping and thought provoking and I couldn't put it down.

Yeah, some of the books in the middle are pretty slow. Things get better from Book 10 though, or was it Book 11?

I've been told book 11 is where the story picks up again. So one more slow book to go after this

I get it; I’ve read the whole series thrice and always feel that way in the middle

Let me know if you want to discuss or need encouragement. If it helps, the end is worth it in my opinion

Hey thanks, I appreciate that. I'm definitely far enough in that I'm not going to drop it now. I've just been taking a lot of breaks with other books.

I'm getting a little nervous that I just won't be able to remember certain things that happened multiple books ago that will then become important. For example I just read a chapter that revisited a character we hadn't seen since book 4 (I think), and I had no idea who she was until halfway through the chapter. And I feel like googling will result in spoilers.
