Finished The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King.
It was a nice book. Kind of YA, but fun to read. Pretty much a typical story of good vs bad, where good characters are super good and bad characters are super bad, with very few gray in between. Worth a read if you want a standalone fantasy novel that’s quick to read.
Read The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. My first Scalzi novel and I loved it. A very light and easy to read sci-fi, with Kaiju in them. Going to get other Scalzi novels, may start with Old Man’s War.
Finally got my order my Dresden Files comics / graphic novels. So read the first omnibus, which has the original Welcome to the Jungle and graphic adaptation of first two Dresden Files novels, Storm Front and Fool Mon.
Second omnibus has all original graphic novels novels though, but will get to them later.
Just started Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I have read it before, but it has been quite a while, so re-reading it before starting on the sequel series.

Mistborn is the book that got me into reading! It’s one of my favourite books of all time due to how it changed me haha.
As for my little update. I put Morning Star on pause as I feel a bit burned out with the Red Rising series. I’m at the point where nothing really surprises me anymore and I feel that I’m not as invested as I was with the other Red Rising books.
Instead I’ve jumped back over to doing a Way of Kings re-read. The first time I listened to the audiobook so I’m eager to read it this timearound.
Is it better than the Stormlight Archive? I’m currently off and on trying to slog my way through The Way of Kings, but I’ve made it nearly a quarter of the way through and can’t bring myself to care all that much about the characters or story.
It’s to the point where I’ve put the book on hold twice to read other books that I found more interesting. I wish I liked it more, because everyone says it’s one of the greatest fantasy series ever written, but it’s just not pushing my buttons the right way, I guess.
