I read about the first fifth of Ghost Story (Dresden Files) this morning. According to my history it's been a little over 5 years since I last read this, it feels like so much less. To be as vague as possible, that first meeting with the Ragged Lady breaks my heart every time.
I also started The Fellowship of the Ring earlier this week. Only a couple of chapters in, so not much to say about that yet except that I find Hobbits very unpleasant.
I've continued Words of Radiance after a 8-9 month hiatus. This Graphic Audio thing is still rad, I've just been going through a reading reading phase rather than an audiobook one. I haven't gotten around to getting a physical copy yet because I have the previous book in the giant hardcover with (I think) the European art? My local fantasy bookshop hasn't had it in when I've been around and I haven't bothered to ask.
Finished the latest Incryptid, the last couple have been a bit disappointing. They never quite do it for me, what I really want is for the books to go for another chapter and let me see the family in the aftermath of the story, but they always end abruptly right as the climax resolves and there's no wind-down. You'd think after 14 books I'd be used to it but it always leaves me a little deflated. It's nice that we get to explore a little more of different characters each book, but I just want to see them together outside of an immediate crisis too.
What else... I'm near the beginning of The Death of WCW, we're still going through the history of wrestling in North America. I know a lot of it and don't really care, but it's necessary context so fair enough.
Oh and I still have a handful of other books on the backburner, Storygraph says I have 12 books going 🤷♂️ I'll finish some eventually.
I have only read it once, but I can fully understand that. It was a pretty emotional moment.
I always want this too! Love it when books give that closure about how their life went on.
