Started Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire. First book in her October Daye urban fantasy series. This is my first Seanan McGuire book, have heard a lot about her.

Still skimming through The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll.

Putting Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken on hold for a bit, shouldn't have started multiple non-fiction at once. Will pick it up after finishing the Bullet Journal Method.

Finished Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. I enjoyed it a lot, but kinda feel like it stumbled a bit towards the end. Maybe it was the rapid changes in POV, or maybe because it suddenly added new POVs in the ending chapters? There is also a lot of unresolved stuff, as it sets up sequels that don't exist yet. Was still a very enjoyable book though. It was my first Sanderson, and I'll be checking out some more of his stuff soon. Maybe Mistborn? Taking recommendations on where to go next!

I also finished The Hedge Knight by G.R.R. Martin. Picked it up because of the new HBO show, Preston Jacobs spoke so warmly of the book in his review of the show, and I was so impressed when re-reading A Game of Thrones recently. I was not quite as impressed though, a nice little short story, but I didn't get that invested. There are just so many names presented in a very short story, and I found I had to backtrack quite a bit to keep track of who these people were. I have the collection of the 3 first Dunk and Egg stories and will keep going through them though.
