Finished The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 in the Mistborn series. What I remembered of the ending, was actually 100 pages before the actual end, so was fun reading that.
Currently Reading Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. Didn't like the start, but I am about halfway through and enjoying it now. It says it's "comedy horror", but I am just not getting the comedy part, which is probably why I didn't like the start, I think. The story itself is interesting enough though.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

They're all wildly different, but "one of the best authors on the planet doing random experimentation in styles for his wife with unexpected free time" is a hell of a sales pitch, and I'd call 3/4 excellent.
Frugal Wizard would still be pretty damn good if it wasn't held up to the standard of his insane catalogue. If it was your personal masterpiece, you'd be a quality author. But everything in the Cosmere is just so good that it's noticeable that it's not quite as good.
Yeah, it's pretty cool that to take a break from writing, he wrote 4 novels! ๐
i loved frugal wizard. i had a blast reading it, no notes. i don't even know what you mean. i found it very entertaining. better than 6th of the dusk (but i'm not a big fan of the "short stories") and Steelheart seems a bit over the top for me, but i'm not through yet.
Like I said, it's good. But all 3 other secret projects are a lot better. And Stormlight, Mistborn, Elantris, Warbreaker. He just has so many masterpiece level works to compare it to.
