Read Die Trying by Lee Child. Book 2 of Jack Reacher series. It was a fun book, though I wasn’t fan of how passive Reacher was in most of the book, most of the action happens near the end. Was hoping for more action throughout the book. Still fun though, going to get more of these.

Now, continuing with my Mistborn re-read. Started The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. It’s Book 2 in the series, and for some reason I don’t recall much of what happens in this one. While I didn’t recall the details of the first one either, I recalled most of the plot, for this one though, I only remember the ending, and maybe one other scene. Everything else I thought happened in 2, would happen in 3. So, looking forward to reading it and finding out!

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

    Morning Star by Pierce Brown Book 3 of the Red Rising series

    This is a reread for me. I really like these books and I wanted to reread them before starting the move recently book in the series.

    If you haven’t read them, I highly recommend it; especially, if you like Dystopian Sci-Fi.

      Red Rising series has been recommended here many times, it’s already on my wishlist, will get it once I clear some of my backlog, books I have already bought.

        For sure. There are 6 books with a 7th on the way. To top it off, each one is longer than the last. It takes a pretty solid time commitment. But if you read on Kindle or listen to audiobooks, you can get it from Libby.

          I would probably get the physical books.

          Didn’t know the series hasn’t finished. Is this still the same story? Or it’s different stories in the same world? I just don’t want to start another on-going series.

            Same story more or less. From what I’ve read so far, it’s sort of sets of trilogies, that combine to form a larger series.

            The first three books take place from the perspective of one character. The next three books have multiple narratives. Same characters from the first three books, same timeline.

            I haven’t read the 6th yet. I thought it would end here so I was surprised to see a 7th book in the works.

              Ahan, thanks for the info. I still have couple of series to go through before getting it, hopefully this would be finished by then.
