Finished The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. The climax and resolutions was really good, even on my 2nd re-read. Finally done with the first era! Wanted to jump right into next book to find out what happens to that one character, but next book is hundreds of years in the future.
Started Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. Got the series for the kid, he is already halfway through the book and wanted to talk to me about it, so reading it myself.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I read a fair amount of Enid Blyton as a kid, and remember enjoying the Five series. Does it hold up well?
Still haven’t been getting much reading done; I’m not even a third of the way through Between Two Fires yet! It has been enjoyable so far, though, with a lot of clever medieval flavor that reminds me of Arthurian legends, or monsters doodled in the corners of old manuscripts. I suspect there’s probably some Canterbury Tales influence as well, but it’s been a long time since I had to read them.
