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?

I'm about 600 hours in on https://wanderinginn.com/. Just started book 8. Really enjoying the series. I still have hundreds of hours left in the series. I started reading it years ago and went to the audiobook. Feels pretty good.

Now I know how people feel like with their soap operas 😆.

I have been thinking about starting a new webnovel, this looks like a good option, have heard it mentioned a few times.

There's no way to buy ebooks for anything other than kindle though, so if I get into it, would have to find some way around that.

I was able to get it on the kobo. I'm not sure what you mean by anything other than kindle?

[–] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, there was only amazon link, and it said "kindle format", I assume that meant it's only for kindle?

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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.

Nice! Yeah direct from author or open publisher is the best. Thats why I like bean free library so much....

Oh, didn't know about Bean Free Library, thanks for the mention!
