Caught up to side stories in Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. It’s a short stories collection in Dresden Files universe. Only 1 short story and 1 novella remaining in the book. Short story is after next the book and the novella is after the book after that.
Now reading The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. I have this book in my library for over 15 years. Bought it a long time ago just by looking at King’s name, but then assumed it must be a part of a series (at that time all fantasy I had read were part of series), so left it for later and then forgot. Someone mentioned the book somewhat recently, and I looked it up again and found out it’s a standalone book, so finally reading it now.
It’s written in very different style from King’s usual work, like a tale told orally. It’s also a medieval fantasy, with kings, magic and dragons. Also, not as long, less than 400 pages. I am about halfway done, and enjoying the book. Should finish it soon-ish.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I loved the first arc, it was my first Sanderson books but agree the second book is a little slower. I want to revisit the second arc as I haven’t read the newest book and wasn’t paying full attention for the first 2 books really. I think the latest book is release soon if it remember correctly so I may wait for that and then do all the books through from the beginning of the second arc.
I’m looking forward to the third arc more I think although I’m sure that is a while off yet!
I personally really like the trilogy still. I just see why I got a couple “push through and make sure you get to Wax and Wayne”. I still teared up at the ending lol.
I know book 5 of the Stormlight Archive is coming in December. I’m definitely excited for that. I have no clue about more Mistborn stuff other than that the third arc is about the Ghostbloods, who appear in the Stormlight books.
Ah yeh, you are right it is the stormlight archive book that is coming the beginning of next month, not more Mistborn. I’m still looking forward to that though!
