A day late, but better late than never!

I finished Grave Peril, third book of Dresden Files, by Jim Butcher. The series has start picking up. This book is much higher quality than the first two.

Currently, I am reading two books.

  • The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. I have been using bullet journal for nearly a decade, but never got around to reading the book, so finally got it. While there's nothing new in the method, the "why" are interesting, and should help me be more productive.

  • Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Man, what a book. I think this is one of the best book I have read recently. I am more than half-way, and loving every moment of it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading?

A Day Of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon.

This is my second book I've read by her and the writing is just so freaking wonderful to trot through. She has such a way with words that really makes it comfortable to sit through a massive story. It's also great to see the beginnings of The story that comes after this one (Priory of the orange tree)

Ah, I have heard of Priory of the Orange Tree, but doesn't that come before "A Day of Fallen Night"?

Yes, it was written before but story wise Orange Tree takes place after. I may have to reread it after Fallen Night just to have a new appreciation for how the characters came to be even though they are both considered Standalone books.
