Caught up to side stories in Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. It’s a short stories collection in Dresden Files universe. Only 1 short story and 1 novella remaining in the book. Short story is after next the book and the novella is after the book after that.
Now reading The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. I have this book in my library for over 15 years. Bought it a long time ago just by looking at King’s name, but then assumed it must be a part of a series (at that time all fantasy I had read were part of series), so left it for later and then forgot. Someone mentioned the book somewhat recently, and I looked it up again and found out it’s a standalone book, so finally reading it now.
It’s written in very different style from King’s usual work, like a tale told orally. It’s also a medieval fantasy, with kings, magic and dragons. Also, not as long, less than 400 pages. I am about halfway done, and enjoying the book. Should finish it soon-ish.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Currently on Book 7 of the Malazan series by Steven Erikson, “Reaper’s Gale”. Started book 1 back in June, still working my way through them. The whole series improved tremendously after Book 3 finished, it’s been a heck of a ride so far.
3 to go. How do you like it? I started with book one last month then got side tracked by some of Stephen King’s books. I don’t think I’m mentally ready for a 10 books journey yet
So many conflicting feelings.
They’re all SO long, too
Damn, now I’m curious
