Where did the Tuesday go? Well, as the power vested in me as a mod of this community, I am declaring today a Tuesday! So, without further ado:

Finished The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

Loved the book. A quick and very enjoyable read. If rest of the trilogy is similar, going to get the whole series.

Read Small Favor by Jim Butcher, 10th book in the Dresden Files series. Liked in much better than the previous book White Night. Full of action, without much dull moments. Stakes keep getting higher and higher, but we are starting to see some bigger picture.

Currently reading Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. It’s short stories in Dresden Files universe. I started it after White Night, but only reading stories that are before the book I have read, so this will not be completed for quite a while.

These don’t cover any Bingo squares, except maybe Eazy, Breazy, Read-zie

    oh i didn’t know it is a series! I also just started the Red Rising and really like it, and you saying it gets better and better might make me keep reading (my series commitment is often poor).

      It was a surprise when I discovered it was a trilogy. Then another when I found out there’s a second trilogy after that! I’m going to be busy for a while haha. The first book had a bit of a pacing issue but the 2nd has been moving nonstop. I’m enjoying it a lot! I’d definitely recommend it.

      Series aren’t usually a problem for me, once I get hooked I tend to binge through the rest. The sadness hits harder once you finish the last book though as the world you spent several months in comes to an end. Thankfully I’ve got quite a bit to go yet with the Red Rising world. I believe there’s even a seventh book releasing next year?
