Welcome to year's first weekly thread! How are you all doing? And what are you book / reading related resolutions for this year?

I started Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken

Just started it, but looks like an interesting read. It's about the ultra-processed food we eat these days.

Also skimming through Ryder Caroll's The Bullet Journal Method. Read this last year (or was that year before that?) and wanted to check something but decided to skim through most of it.

Still reading The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson, 3rd book in the 2nd era of Mistborn. It was going great but didn't get to read much last week or so, should be getting back to it now.

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

For details on the c/Books bingo challenge that just restarted for the year, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and its Recommendation Post. Links are also present in our community sidebar.

It’s interesting you mention the Tales of, and the NJO being good because that one they worked together. The Tales of worked like that, a collection of short stories that combined at one point.

I enjoy OLD (ancient?) scifi-fi and it’s predominantly short stories as full books were too risky to publish at first. So the short story collections almost worked as a homage to them for me.

I started about 3 years ago and have read a SW book and then another book, and back. I’ve read Dune, The Expanse, and hitchhikers to name drop a few books/series. Sometimes it’s takes a couple months to finish a book, good the later Dunes were slow, sometimes a few days. Life’s fun.
