I was supposed to post this last week, but got delayed because of Thanksgiving. Hope you all had a fun time.
I finished The House at Sea’s End by Elly Griffiths. It was an okay read, not bad, but thinking about getting into another crime series with more action / mystery and less relationship stuff. But I have got the next 5-6 books so will read them.
Read the next Dresden Files novel, Blood Rites by Jim Butcher. I feel the quality of writing has improved a lot since the first couple of novels. This one felt a bit less intense than the last one, but liked the character developments.
Read Jujitsu Kaisen, Vol 4, not much to say about it. More action, more silliness.
Currently reading The Black Company by Glen Cook. I have the omnibus (Chronicles of the Black Company) which has first three books, so may end up reading all three as one book. The writing style is a bit weird, but I think I have gotten used to it.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening? Or have read and listened in last 2-3 weeks?
I’ve been reading through a short story collection of Edgar Allan Poe and really liking it. The variety of genres he wrote in is really impressive and I can definitely see how a lot of later novels were inspired by his works! I also never knew just how old they were (1800s!).
I read Poe when I was pretty young, and didn't really get most of his work. I think I need to revisit it now.
Oh I highly recommend it. As a kid I read a lot of his work and my favorites were the Cask of Amontillado and The Tell-tale Heart. I still love those ones but I feel like I can appreciate the poetry and other stories now.
Another series I've gotten a lot of mileage out of revisiting was Calvin and Hobbes funny enough.
Heh, that's interesting. I read Calvin and Hobbes a while ago too, want to own actual comics collection.
