Finished The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King.

It was a nice book. Kind of YA, but fun to read. Pretty much a typical story of good vs bad, where good characters are super good and bad characters are super bad, with very few gray in between. Worth a read if you want a standalone fantasy novel that's quick to read.

Read The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. My first Scalzi novel and I loved it. A very light and easy to read sci-fi, with Kaiju in them. Going to get other Scalzi novels, may start with Old Man's War.

Finally got my order my Dresden Files comics / graphic novels. So read the first omnibus, which has the original Welcome to the Jungle and graphic adaptation of first two Dresden Files novels, Storm Front and Fool Mon.

Second omnibus has all original graphic novels novels though, but will get to them later.

Just started Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I have read it before, but it has been quite a while, so re-reading it before starting on the sequel series.

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

Covers One Less (Hard Mode), Older than You, Eazy, Breazy, Read-zie, and It takes two Bingo squares

I finished Educated by Tara Westover. I really liked this book. It gave me a glimpse into an upbringing that is about as different from mine as I can imagine. If you want to get an idea of what it's like to grow up in a distrusts-anything-government, survivalist family, I highly recommend.

Now I've started Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I'm still early on but I love how this book started. It instantly gripped me and I can't wait to see how it goes.
