Nearly done with reading A Parade of Horribles, Matt Dinniman! It felt like it took a little while to get ramped up, but I'm enjoying the chaos as things continue to spiral. Unsure what I'll read after this.

For my audiobook, I'm about a third of the way through Isles of the Emberdark, Brandon Sanderson, which may be my favorite of his special novels so far. Very cool to see how things are all tying together in the broader cosmere. Well thought out strategy on how to expand a short story. Only quibble is Sanderson still doesn't seem to write natural dialog. It never feels like a something someone would actually say.
