Finished The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the Mistborn series. What I remembered of the ending, was actually 100 pages before the actual end, so was fun reading that.

Currently Reading Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. Didn't like the start, but I am about halfway through and enjoying it now. It says it's "comedy horror", but I am just not getting the comedy part, which is probably why I didn't like the start, I think. The story itself is interesting enough though.

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

So I finished Wind and Truth last Thursday. As high as my expectations were, it went way above and beyond. It had me so jazzed up I started back into Way of Kings (physical this time) right after, to see it again from the perspective of knowing the story and characters. The extra perspective on all the players highlights how well he had it planned out from the start.

Audiobook-wise; I'm up to M is for Malice in Kinsey Milhone. I'm thinking Miss Fortune is next from my list.

Secret Projects finally showed up. They're not as nice as the full leatherbounds, but they're pretty. I'll probably reply to this with pictures if I get a chance with decent lighting.

edit: goodreads sent my stats for the year lol.

They have a graphic with all the covers but the "full web page" screenshot in Safari isn't big enough. Link instead

I thought you weren't going to start it right away!

Just looked up and LibraryThing has released their warpup today too. My count is 38 books with 9,928 pages total.
