Finished The Novice by Trudi Canavan. The second book in The Black Magician trilogy.

Found the second half to be more interesting than the first half, but that is probably just me.

Started Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

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

Just finished The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. Great read about a family who moves to a (very) small Alaskan town to start over.

Currently reading Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy. This one is about a small family maintaining a seed vault on a remote island, kind of dystopian and mysterious so far. Very tight prose.

Interestingly, both of these came my way via the “Skip the Line” selection at my local library, where popular titles are available on a 7-day loan instead of the standard 21 days. Great way to discover new (to me) authors and genres.
