Finished Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It’s first of three novellas written between book 2 and 3 of Cytoverse series.
Finished ReDawn, the next novella after Sunreach, by same authors.
Before reading these novellas, I considered them side stories, which may help expand the universe and give background info about other characters, but nothing big in main scheme of things, but the way story has progressed in these, anyone who miss these will missing out on a lot.
Of course, I have yet to read the next novel, so maybe it will cover some of the important bits, let’s see.
After the novellas, I have started Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher, book 8 of Dresden Files. These novels keep getting longer, if I recall correctly, the first few were around 300 or so pages, this one is over 550 pages. Not that I am complaining, they are a fun read, but just an observation.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
So far I am halfway through and it’s an exceptionally good example of unreliable narrators leaving the reader in a state of terror. I really really hope that it can stick it’s landing…
Also. Some of the chapters are written by a cat.
Okay, let me put everything aside and order the book right now.
Just downloaded on BorrowBox from my library!
I loved this novel. Like I said before, I love books that play with narration. I remember being so thrown off track by all the narrative voices and especially the cat! It’s not just a story to read, it’s a marvelous game to play while reading!
I just finished the book a few days ago and oh boy I absolutely loved it. I was pretty sure that I knew what the twist(s) would be and was rooting for one character from the get go. The book is so full of hints how all of it works. But some of the hints confuse even more until you find the last puzzle piece. At the halfway point the Autor had me doubting that I was right… I found the end was a little bit to happy right after finishing it. But a few days later I see it as a great ending that more or less recontextualises the whole book into another genre.
Really have to look into the other books of the author.
