Still reading Starsight by Brandon Sanderson, second book of Skyward (Cytoverse) series. About half done. It's interesting to get more details about the world.

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

Non fiction wise, I think I've read enough plague history books for now so I'm reading summer of blood by Dan Jones about the peasants' revolt.

Fiction wise, I'm just starting re-eading Glenn Cook's black company. I've read the series before but was years ago and must have been wasted then because i only remember the gist and that I enjoyed them. Also grunts by Mary gentle, and notes on the culture by iain m Banks. Never read it before, fucking shame that bloke is dead.

You like to read depressing books 😀

I read the first book in Black Company series, and while I liked the story, the writing style kept me from getting fully immersed. Have the next two book ready but not feeling special urge to go back to it.
