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?

Oh, it's just fantastic. The series doesn't need to be so long, but the pay-offs from its length have already been amazing. References to people and places in book one that suddenly come to fruition by book four or five are so satisfying, and watching the characters develop just keeps you hooked.

The Wife and I are both reading it at the same time on our e-readers, so trading notes while we go brings an extra level of enjoyment.

Yeah, that sounds fun. Would love to hear what you both thought about the whole series, once you have finished it.
