Still reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

Book is pretty fast paced and full of action. Really enjoying it.

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

The first mistborn book is a bit on the nose, it comes across as a bit of a weird mix of teen romance meets classic teen fiction rebels vs fascist empire. Probably not Sanderson's best work as it is on the older side now, but it gets way way better after the first book (as many Sanderson series do). The Wax and Wayne mistborn books are awesome, so don't give up after the first one!

lol if you looked at my goodreads you'd see plenty of cheap, casual reads. I like a variety of styles, as long as it's not super stilted and I can get some flavor of the author's personality. I'm guessing that it won't be an issue.

I appreciate the advice that it picks up though.
