I primarily read science fiction, but I will also read some general fiction, and even an interesting autobiography.

I love The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm not sure if anything I'll ever read will supplant it as my favorite thing to read.

Finished this tonight. My son was very surprised to hear "Walnut Creek" mentioned, as he used to live there.

I asked what he thought of the book, and he gave this review: "Good", so there it is! :)

Reading this with my 8-year-old son. Changing a few choice words here and there so he's not obsessing over swearing. :-)

finished reading Edgedancer by Brandon Sanderson (The Stormlight Archive, #2.5)

Brandon Sanderson: Edgedancer (Hardcover, 2017, Tor Books)

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, a special gift edition of Edgedancer, …

"A shard fork!" HAH, ridiculous.

This was a fun little novella, the tone was surprising considering the rest of the series, but it was fun. I wouldn't have minded it being a few chapters longer.

The Stump's voice actor makes me think of someone from The Expanse TV show.

Katherine Min: The Fetishist (2024, Little, Brown Book Group Limited) No rating

This is a bit of a weird one. I don't like the majority of the characters very much. They've all made some pretty bad decisions so far.

Brandon Sanderson: Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive, Book 2) (Paperback, 2014, Tor)

The eagerly awaited sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Way of Kings.

I started listening to this a while back but forgot to update here. It's good. Kaladin is finally getting out there and showing himself!

Riley August: Last Gifts of the Universe (2024, Harlequin Enterprises ULC)

Finished reading this with my 7-year-old son last night. It was a very touching story. I'm glad my son listened to it with good attention most of the time. I checked that he was understanding the story as it went along, and he followed most of it.

I'll definitely check out more books by this author in the future.
