A day late, but better late than never!

I finished Grave Peril, third book of Dresden Files, by Jim Butcher. The series has start picking up. This book is much higher quality than the first two.

Currently, I am reading two books.

  • The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. I have been using bullet journal for nearly a decade, but never got around to reading the book, so finally got it. While there's nothing new in the method, the "why" are interesting, and should help me be more productive.

  • Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Man, what a book. I think this is one of the best book I have read recently. I am more than half-way, and loving every moment of it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading?

Raymond Feist’s Riftwar series (starts with Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master). It’s a great series overall though the books are a bit inconsistent in quality. The opening 4 books are superb though. And I would strongly recommend any fantasy fan read the two magician books, if nothing else.

The Rook series by Daniel O’Malley, Iron Druid by Kevin Hearne, Libriomancer by Jim C Hines and Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovich are all really good series with good world building to read while waiting for Dresden too. Iron Druid and Libriomancer are finished but they were only a few books long.

Oh damn, is iron druid finished? I've read a bunch of them, but I haven't kept up with the series. It's good.

Rivers of London is one of my top favorite series. So freaking good.
