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. ( @[email protected] 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.

Just finished The Sunlit Man by Sanderson, and The Book of the Ice trilogy by Mark Lawrence before that. Trying to decide on what's next.
I just got 'Yumi and the Nightmare Painter' today, reading the secret projects in order, so should be getting to The Sunlit Man soon after that.
Assuming you have read the all four secret project books, which one did you like the most?
I have Yumi ready to listen to soon but I didn't realise there was a connection / order for these books?
Reading them in order isn't required. Some of the books are loosely connected to his other Cosmere stuff, but only one of them really leans into it (I won't say which just in case)
Ah cool, thanks for the info. I look forward to anything Sanderson!
Favorite was a tie between Tress and Yumi. I really liked the whole "Princess Bride" vibe from Tress, and Yumi was just cute and cheesy. Followed by Sunlit Man and then Frugal Wizard. I loved them all though! You?
Well, I have only read first two yet, and they were both pretty good. Though yeah, the writing style and vibe of Tress was much more enjoyable.
What did you think of Book of the Ice? Book of the Ancestor is my favourite series, I love it so much (after hating the 3 Whatever of Thorns books I forced my way through before that - I almost didn't bother). I was so ready for more then Ice didn't really do it for me sadly. I loved the first quarter or so of the first book where it built the same world from a wildly different perspective, but didn't really like the actual story all that much and never got around to reading past the first book. I have the trilogy signed by the author though, that's pretty cool.
That's awesome! I do really like Ice, but Ancestor is my favorite series too! I think I mostly liked it because of the "fan service" regarding going back to the convent, and all the stuff surrounding that. I am also a sucker for characters like Erris who need to figure out their humanity. I am very jealous of your signed copy :)
