After finishing it, I wanted to focus on the other books I was reading but the ending made me start the Mistborn: Secret Histories novella right away.

The novella takes place in Era 1 (at least as far as I have read) but the recommended order is after The Bands of Mourning, as mentioned at the end of the book. Pretty interesting so far.

Still Readings Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken and The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll, but at very slow pace. Going to focus on them one at a time to speed them up.

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

Just finished "The Rose Field" by Philip Pullman, book 3 in "The Book of Dust". Was it good? I'm somewhat up in the air about that. I enjoyed the series but books 2 & 3 was just one book in 2 volumes; and that's fine but it was somehow a bit... Unfulfilling. Ending felt a bit rushed as well; an additional 50 pages might have better fleshed out both the climax and a suitable epilogue.

Started "The Gone World" by Tom Sweterlitsch last night. Holy poop the 7-page prologue had me hooked immediately.

I really enjoy all of Pullman’s books, but I haven’t read any of the new dust books. I’m curious to jump in.

Agreed, that prologue is fantastic. I wish the rest of the book matched that tone and intensity better, but I still enjoyed it.
