Finished Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It's first of three novellas written between book 2 and 3 of Cytoverse series.
Finished ReDawn, the next novella after Sunreach, by same authors.
Before reading these novellas, I considered them side stories, which may help expand the universe and give background info about other characters, but nothing big in main scheme of things, but the way story has progressed in these, anyone who miss these will missing out on a lot.
Of course, I have yet to read the next novel, so maybe it will cover some of the important bits, let's see.
After the novellas, I have started Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher, book 8 of Dresden Files. These novels keep getting longer, if I recall correctly, the first few were around 300 or so pages, this one is over 550 pages. Not that I am complaining, they are a fun read, but just an observation.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

About to start the first book of the Divine Cities series: City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett.
Quite a while ago (I think it was when I was still on reddit), someone made a post or comment about the series and I've been wanting to read it, but I have so many books I still want to read (or reread), so I guess I kind of forgot about it. But tonight when I go to bed, I'll start. Really can't wait and hope it's as good as it was made out to be.
Yeah, so many books, so little time. I have books in my wishlist for more than a decade, and even some in backlog for a very long time.
Very relatable!
It is also the reason I pretty much only read finished series (some exceptions for me were Feist's Magician or Erikson's Malazan series). Tbh, I really hate having to wait for the next book, sometimes even for years (and then having to reread previous books, because you've forgotten half the story), plus you can never really know if the author will actually finish it. It's why I never bought any ASOIAF-books, I was waiting for it to be finished, but now that'll probably never happen.
Just don't have the time, patience and discipline to stay up to date with and juggle reading a bunch of different ongoing book series 'at the same time' - so I have an extra list with unfinished series that I check up on once every two years or so, to see if they're complete and I can start reading them yet. It keeps the backlog a bit more manageable.
