I was supposed to post this last week, but got delayed because of Thanksgiving. Hope you all had a fun time.

I finished The House at Sea’s End by Elly Griffiths. It was an okay read, not bad, but thinking about getting into another crime series with more action / mystery and less relationship stuff. But I have got the next 5-6 books so will read them.

Read the next Dresden Files novel, Blood Rites by Jim Butcher. I feel the quality of writing has improved a lot since the first couple of novels. This one felt a bit less intense than the last one, but liked the character developments.

Read Jujitsu Kaisen, Vol 4, not much to say about it. More action, more silliness.

Currently reading The Black Company by Glen Cook. I have the omnibus (Chronicles of the Black Company) which has first three books, so may end up reading all three as one book. The writing style is a bit weird, but I think I have gotten used to it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening? Or have read and listened in last 2-3 weeks?

My favourites

Peter F. Hamilton

  • The dreaming void trilogy
  • Without telling to much it is two sections of a story part fantasy part sci-fi basically.

And if you like his style

  • The Night's Dawn Trilogy
  • A massive trilogy that if you stick to it has so many ideas, side stories and places in it you could make several spin off`s out of the lore. It has nothing to do with the void universe.

Adrian Tchaikovski

  • Children of Time
  • Also sci-fi about humankind coming to a new "eden" 😉
