Finished The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King.

It was a nice book. Kind of YA, but fun to read. Pretty much a typical story of good vs bad, where good characters are super good and bad characters are super bad, with very few gray in between. Worth a read if you want a standalone fantasy novel that's quick to read.

Read The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. My first Scalzi novel and I loved it. A very light and easy to read sci-fi, with Kaiju in them. Going to get other Scalzi novels, may start with Old Man's War.

Finally got my order my Dresden Files comics / graphic novels. So read the first omnibus, which has the original Welcome to the Jungle and graphic adaptation of first two Dresden Files novels, Storm Front and Fool Mon.

Second omnibus has all original graphic novels novels though, but will get to them later.

Just started Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I have read it before, but it has been quite a while, so re-reading it before starting on the sequel series.

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

I have been doing a run on Malazan book of the Fallen series. Currently going through "Dust of Dreams". It's really dark and sad right now. Seriously thinking about taking a break from it. Maybe a Pratchett book?

Oooof, I feel that. I started Malazan back at the end of June, currently 2/3rds through Book 7, "Reaper's Gale".

It's far less dark that books 2 and 3, but it's still sooooo... I don't know, not as many payoffs as previous books. Feeling some Malazan fatigue with 3 books to go
