Finished The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. This was a very interesting book. Set about 300 years after the first era. The changes in the world, and to learn about some of the characters, it was all very interesting, and I am very glad that I re-read the first era before reading this.
Finished Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. The book was surprisingly good. I quite enjoyed it, and it didn’t even feel old.
My kid is already on book 5. So, highly recommended your for your 9-12 year olds.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
時をかける少女. I suck at reading japanese and the only way to get better is to (try to) do it. Not the most interesting as a dude in his 40s who’s not generally into this sort of genre (written in the 60s, it’s about an elementary school girl with some sort of ability to experience other times), but the internet was correct in that it’s about the right level of difficulty. I do kinda dislike some of the dated stuff (not useful, which is my primary concern) and there’s a ton of jargon to learn. Overall, it’s ok for it’s purpose, though it’s certainly not something I’m excited to pick up when time allows.
