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?

    Finished The End and the Death Volume II by Dan Abnett. Its really good but unless there is a ton I am missing there isn’t really enough for much of a third and final book in this end game trilogy for the Siege of Terra. Feels like it should have been two books not three, may be I will change my mind end of January when the next one comes out.

    Also finished Matter by Iain Banks. Its another good book but it suffers being read back to back with the rest of the series during my read through of the Culture series. I do not think the story is as strong as it could be. Spoiler:

    Ending is great if you like left field endings, and brutal endings.

    Now reading Surface Detail by Iain Banks. Penultimate Culture book, then I can read the revised Tolkien’s letters and his bibliography. First non fiction in a very long time.
