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?

I can't function without the bulk edit tool goodreads has. My actual goodreads list is 1400 books and I need to be able to go through groups of 50-100 checking boxes to make lists. My real preference for fiction would be to be able to tag by series/author.

Just remaking my "high quality psychology/adjacent" books list by typing every name one at a time is way more than I can stomach.

There are some features for that in LT, power edit or something, though I haven't actually explored them in depth, or even looked at them in years, so I could be wrong about those.

It could have evolved since I tried it. I think I'll probably still end up targeting my own, though, because I don't care about any of the social stuff, but do really want to be able to treat series and authors as first class citizens. (The idea being to share a list of favorite series with brief blurbs about what I like about each, ideally kind of ad hoc so I can quickly create a list without rewriting every thought I've had about it but tailor it to a specific person or conversation.)

But yeah, limited by my commitment to it I guess.
