Still Reading The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson. His fourth and final standalone Cosmere "secret project" novel.

About halfway through, not much more to add.

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

I have hit a mile stone, I'm just coming to the end of book 100 of Deathlands. A character that left around 50 books ago has returned in this one and I have been waiting for his return!

I've been thinking about it and that is about 650 hours or so of Deathlands in the last year and a half and I'm still enjoying it a lot! I think after this one however I may slip a couple of other books in.

The Sunlit Man is the last book I need to read out if his 4 "secret" books, still on the to do list :D

Congratulations on the century!

That's a lots of hours. To 650 more hours!

Haha thanks although I'm kind of pissed off having finished that hundredth book after posting this.

The character I wanted to return ended up not doing so at the end of the book but not only that they killed off another person who could have possibly joined up with their band of people. It has happened quite a few times now and after so many books it would be nice if they added in another companion but instead the authors seem to be too scared to add any additional characters to to regular roster which is quite frankly frustrating as fuck.

They always kill off potential additions in the most pathetic manner and after so many hours it would be a nice addition to just change things up slightly, I don't want a constant rotation of characters but a breath of fresh air would be nice!

So I have started "The Eyre Affair" which is the first book in a series I think is called Thursday after Next. A few hours in and it is interesting so far!

Heh, hope things improve in next books.
