Finished The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson, 3rd book in the 2nd era of Mistborn!

Read last 150 or so pages in a single sitting. Very interesting where the story is going.

After finishing it, I wanted to focus on the other books I was reading but the ending made me start the Mistborn: Secret Histories novella right away.

The novella takes place in Era 1 (at least as far as I have read) but the recommended order is after The Bands of Mourning, as mentioned at the end of the book. Pretty interesting so far.

Still Readings Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken and The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll, but at very slow pace. Going to focus on them one at a time to speed them up.

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

It was good. Not what I was expecting. I knew very little about it going in. I haven't ready anything by Kurt Vonnegut until now but I will be checking out some more. The story jumps around in time quite a bit but it wasn't too confusing. I did have to re-read a few pages but over all worth the read.

On the Road popped up randomly on a podcast I was listening to so I bought a copy because it sounded interesting. Parts of it do feel a bit directionless but overall it's a fun story. Reminds me of one carefree hippy summer I spent doing nothing but being a bum back in the 90s.
