Still reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.

Just a few pages remaining now, would've finished it, but kid got a book from his school library, and wanted me to read it too, so reading Gangsta Granny by David Williams.

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

There's a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven't started this year's Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are still 6 months remaining only 5 4 3 months to go!

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

Right, like the main character, who is a scientist, is just playing a videogame most of the time. And he literally sees a countdown timer that no one else sees but the urgency to save himself just doesn't exist for some reason.

    Also his family are just sort of... There? Like, his interactions with his wife are some of the most pathetic shit I've ever read. She pops into existence for one scene and then just ceases to matter after that.
