I was supposed to post this last week, but got delayed because of Thanksgiving. Hope you all had a fun time.

I finished The House at Sea’s End by Elly Griffiths. It was an okay read, not bad, but thinking about getting into another crime series with more action / mystery and less relationship stuff. But I have got the next 5-6 books so will read them.

Read the next Dresden Files novel, Blood Rites by Jim Butcher. I feel the quality of writing has improved a lot since the first couple of novels. This one felt a bit less intense than the last one, but liked the character developments.

Read Jujitsu Kaisen, Vol 4, not much to say about it. More action, more silliness.

Currently reading The Black Company by Glen Cook. I have the omnibus (Chronicles of the Black Company) which has first three books, so may end up reading all three as one book. The writing style is a bit weird, but I think I have gotten used to it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening? Or have read and listened in last 2-3 weeks?

    The Book of Dave by Will Self - I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by him, most recently, prior to this, was Umbrella.

    Land of the Lustrous by Haruko Ichikawa for something light. First manga I’ve read, and very glad I picked it up, though gets expensive as the volumes add up.

    Next up I have a couple things by Graham Greene.

      Yeah, buying mangas can become expensive very soon. That is why I am going very slowly with them.

      Never read Will Self before, will check him out.
