Finished The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. This was a very interesting book. Set about 300 years after the first era. The changes in the world, and to learn about some of the characters, it was all very interesting, and I am very glad that I re-read the first era before reading this.
Finished Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. The book was surprisingly good. I quite enjoyed it, and it didn't even feel old.
My kid is already on book 5. So, highly recommended your for your 9-12 year olds.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Just finished Grant and Sherman: The Friendship That Won The Civil War.
Puts into perspective the brilliance of both men, and how utterly prickly Sherman was.
Does it require any knowledge of the Civil War?
Not particularly. If you don't know any of the background of the Civil War, you certainly won't learn it from the book, but as long as you have a rough idea where the major US states are, the narrative is easy enough to follow.
Thanks for the info!
