Holidays are over! Happy New Year!

I didn't get much to read over the holidays, but I finished The Black Company by Glen Cook. The story was interesting but the way it is written made it hard for me to read. Still, going to continue with the trilogy and see if second book is any better in that regard.

Currently reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. Loving the book. The series just keeps getting better and better.

What about you? What have you been reading or listening?

Being a mod.... Well that makes sense!

I said social media but I probably should've just said "phone" haha.

Right now, not including the expanse 4-9, I'm sitting at 29 books I need to get through (they were all from the holidays pretty much + about a half dozen I just bought anyway).

The Expanse has been good so far. I'm only part way through book two but in both cases, first 150-200 pages are building but you get a good payout after that. I've been told that while the story spans the whole 9 books, there's a nice wrap up-ish after book 3. I'd say it's worth checking out if you need some sci-fi to break it up.

Lego, Lego retired sets and alternative bricks have been a lot of my reading time as my kids all like doing it now. Although, my youngest sounds like your kids.

I'll a point of checking in more - I'm not great for posting on lemmy but I am trying to comment more to help the traffic / community :)
