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?

That's lots of stuff, but I guess this can be expected with Deathlands out of the picture ๐Ÿ˜€

How will you rate Trader books?

I'd probably rate it similarly to Deathlands as I was enjoying it, just not enough of it yet for me to fully get into it but I enjoyed the fact it was a continuing story. The trader as a character was in the very early Deathlands books and I didn't particular like him but in these newer books with him as a younger man I didn't mind him anywhere near as much.

How do you feel about the Mistborn second era as a whole now that you finished it? I didn't realise there was a novella, I might need to look that up!

Oh, there's still a book left. 4 books in total in Era 2. Will let you know after I finish that, but it seems to be getting even better!

Oh shit, I thought it was 3, I need to get back onto this!
