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?

I just finished Spine of the Dragon by Kevin Anderson. I have very mixed feelings about it. I really liked the worldbuilding, the political conflict, the characters, and the balance between the local viewpoints of individual characters and the grand world-shaking plot.

But.

I really hated the way it was written. All the chapters were too short. I almost felt like I was reading an outline of the story instead of the story.

I'm invested enough to want to read the next one, but I'm not sure I can bear to read more in this style :(
