Started The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson, 3rd book in the 2nd era of Mistborn.

It's fun to read the antics of Wayne. Probably the most fun character in the book.

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

I finished reading Book one of the Bounty Hunter Wars (Star Wars) and knee deep in “Asimovs Mystery’s” a short story collection from 1968. It includes his first ever story, but what I want to point out is this

Always interesting to see how our information and therefore how narrative are written has changed through the years.

In this story, Mercury always being in the dark was the clue. The killer left film outside a window, and the assumption was anyone with regular light times would not have made that mistake. So the whole story point would be lost if updated.

When I’m done this it’ll be to book two of the Bounty Hunter Wars, which so far has revolved around Boba Fett and Dengar after episode 6. So I’m hoping maybe there will be some Book of Boba Fett lore in this trilogy.
