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

Read last 150 or so pages in a single sitting. Very interesting where the story is going.

After finishing it, I wanted to focus on the other books I was reading but the ending made me start the Mistborn: Secret Histories novella right away.

The novella takes place in Era 1 (at least as far as I have read) but the recommended order is after The Bands of Mourning, as mentioned at the end of the book. Pretty interesting so far.

Still Readings Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken and The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll, but at very slow pace. Going to focus on them one at a time to speed them up.

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

Ha, when that Sanderlanch hits you can't just put it down ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm catching up on Firefly books that have been on my Backlog (mostly thanks to Brandon Sanderson as it turns out). Currently reading Life Signs.

Heh, you are right about that Sanderlanch ๐Ÿ˜€

How are the Firefly books? Didn't even know they existed before you mentioned them (or I completely forgot if I ever knew), and I loved the show.

If you love the show then you'll love the books! Joss Whedon is a consulting editor and it reads exactly like the show.

Sounds perfect, will check them out. Also gives me the reason to re-watch the show!
