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?
The Silmarillion. It’s a slog.
I have tried reading it twice. First time, I started without knowing anything about it, and thought it might be something like Lord of Things or The Hobbit. Gave up very quickly.
Second time I read it knowing what it was, but I got so confused by the names. Fahir Faihr, Faher, I dunno, so many similar names. Gave up, confused. I liked it other than that though. So, have been thinking about reading it while making a big family / relation tree alongside it, so that I can figure out who is who and how they are related to each other.
Yeah I bounced off it the first time, then I tried taking notes while reading it and enjoyed it much more.
Ah, so my idea is a correct one! Would give it another try sometime.
I’m listening to the Andy Serkis audiobook right now. I agree the first bit is a slog but really enjoying it once Feanor and events get going.
