Had a pretty busy work week, hardly got time to read anything. So still on The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.

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

I'm stalled in the middle of like 6 different books and I'm not feeling any of them at the moment.

I just DNFed Assassin of Reality as the second in the Vita Nostra series (I really liked the first book, but...), so I ended up rereading The Scholomance series by Naomi Novik instead.

I started the Four Quarters series by Tanya Huff last night, and I just aggressively don't care about any of the characters. I don't know what I'm looking for in books right now, and I'm getting a little cranky about it.

... aggressively don’t care about any of the characters.

That's the worst feeling, but if you drop something that's meh, then there's all the more room for something awesome. Good hunting!

Oh no, that's the worst. Sometimes I can snap out of it with something that's fast-paced or complete fluff, but other times it's nails on a chalkboard for like a week. I hope you find something compelling soon!
