Finished Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. It was a fine book, enjoyed reading it, at least the latter half.

Started The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. Third and final book the of Mistborn series, well the first era anyway. This is quite a dreary book, but it concludes everything so that’s good.

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

Just a note, next weekly thread falls on 31st Dec, so we are going to skip that, see you in week after that, in 2025!

    Hehe, as a fan of fantasy, you are forgiven.

    Three looks interesting, how are you liking it? Also, how are you liking Mistborn? It was my foray into Sanderson’s work and really like it, specially the first book.

      Many thanks! Mistborn is better than I thought, Allomancy is an interesting take on magic. I think Sanderson might not be making a big enough issue of Vin’s poor/noble dichotomy. shrug

      Three is fun, with just the right amount of violence. And a sort of zombie analog. Give it a go. 😎
