Read Die Trying by Lee Child. Book 2 of Jack Reacher series. It was a fun book, though I wasn't fan of how passive Reacher was in most of the book, most of the action happens near the end. Was hoping for more action throughout the book. Still fun though, going to get more of these.

Now, continuing with my Mistborn re-read. Started The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. It's Book 2 in the series, and for some reason I don't recall much of what happens in this one. While I didn't recall the details of the first one either, I recalled most of the plot, for this one though, I only remember the ending, and maybe one other scene. Everything else I thought happened in 2, would happen in 3. So, looking forward to reading it and finding out!

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

Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson. It's about a near-future maverick geo-engineering operation that hopes to protect Netherlands and other low countries from flooding and rising sea levels. It might also affect global weather systems. The organizers aren't very concerned about that, but India and China might get upset if it screws up their monsoon seasons.

It probably won't even get me a bingo square, but I'll read and recommend it anyway.

Thanks for the recommendation, it sounds interesting. Will add it to my list.

As for Bingo squares, they are to help us expand our horizon, not limit them, so no book should be ignore because it doesn't meet Bingo criteria.
