I have been a bit busy, and with not too much motivation to do much, so am still at the same place as last week.

Still reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.

I did read a bit more of it though, and it was interesting to see the antagonist and some of the other characters who appeared.

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

        I loved it. There is a fair amount of world building and some native terms that you have to wrap your head around, but it is well explained and fairly easy to pick up. I don’t think you need to have too much background going in.
