Since it's the 14th book in the series, I can't say much about it without spoiling what happened in the previous books, but things have become very interesting. Though, the more the things change, the more they stay the same, Harry is still out of his depth, and stakes are still sky high.

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

Finished up Star Wars Shadows of the Empire. It’s based on the game and is the only book between movies 5 and 6. So now that I’m done this I’m moving onto the novelization of Episode 6. Shadows provided some good back story and setup the rescue of Han. Explains Boushh Leia!

Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert Heinlein. It’s my first story from him that isn’t from a ShortStory compilation. I’m enjoying it, it’s heavy on the slavery and beating, it seems though.

After those two, I think I’m gonna do some more ShortStory compilations, I like that pacing of being able to finish a story in my reading windows sometimes. But there’s a big batch of Star Wars books until the next novelization though.

This puts me at about 80-90 of the 150 books read if I’m counting my brothers list correctly.

How long did you take to read those 80-90 books?

June of 22 I started. I would read a legends book, then read another book or something between each. Since then I’ve read the original 6 Dunes, The Expanse series, all of Asimovs Foundations universe, Hitchhikers (read as a kid). As well as healthy smattering of short story compilations, probably a dozen of those?

The short stories I would read probably 5-7 depending length and go back to a SW book. Also depends how I feel. Sometimes it takes me weeks to finish a book. Or like this Heinlein book, I’ll be done today and onto the episode 6 novelization.
