This was a nice week for book reading. Don't usually get this much time generally.

Finished The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. I didn't like the writing style initially but got used to as I read along. It's a small book, just a little more than 100 pages. An umm... interesting read.

Got my copy of The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson. Really liked the book. It was a fun, light book. There was much less action than I was expecting, after reading the announcement of the book, but that didn't make book any less enjoyable. Finished the book in two days, which I rarely get to do now.

Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of Dresden Files. I have just started it, but it's the same Dresden Files. Nothing to say about that.

I’m finally getting around to reading The Goblin Emperor and just finished The Giver. I managed to never read it before, ¯\(ツ)/¯.

Somewhere in the middle of Grave Peril is where the Dresden books really seem to hit their stride and become more consistently good in my opinion.

The Goblin Emperor gets recommended a lot, let us know how you like it. As for The Giver, I haven't read it either, the movie didn't make me much interested in it, thought that could just be the fault of the movie.

Well, I haven't gotten a time to read since I started the book, so maybe will reach that point soon!
