Finished The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson. Book 1 of 2nd era of Mistborn. This was a very interesting book. Set about 300 years after the first era. The changes in the world, and to learn about some of the characters, it was all very interesting, and I am very glad that I re-read the first era before reading this.

Finished Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. The book was surprisingly good. I quite enjoyed it, and it didn’t even feel old.

My kid is already on book 5. So, highly recommended your for your 9-12 year olds.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    Ah gotcha. It’s hidden but you can have Amazon give you the ebook format. You may need to look that up. That’s what I do with all my ebooks I can’t get directly from the author.

    If they give you their proprietary format you can use Calibre as well.

      Ah okay, thanks! I generally don’t buy much ebooks so am a bit oblivious about this. My very short e-collection is pretty much all public domain and direct from author books.

      And yeah, Calibre is great, use that to connect / transfer books to my very old reader.
