I finished Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. This was my least favourite book the first two times and I wasn't looking forward to it, but it was really good this time through. I think it's because I read a physical book instead of listening to the audiobook this time, and this one is much slower and more contemplative. Memories are such an important part of this story, so being able to read entire pages of scene-setting, that go in detail into everything that Dresden was seeing & feeling, and everything they mean to him, were much more effective in a medium that lets you sit with things for a moment and really take it all in. Loved it.
I'm in Fellowship of the Ring now, gonna alternate these with Dresden files. I only just watched the films for the first time in the last year or so and I read The Hobbit last month (didn't watch those ones). No thoughts on it yet except I'm glad we didn't stick around in Hobbiton for very long, I really don't like the people there for the most part.
