Currently working on my Cradle series reread for the final book's release. I'm uhh only on book 7 right now so I sorta missed my target date lol. I love how much the series grows from book to book, once book 5 hits hoo boy it's off to the races. Can't wait to finally get caught up to the new book but another part of me is dreading finishing the series and having no more Cradle to look forward to lol

Just about to finish Children of Earth and Sky by Guy Gavriel Kay. Great book, this is my second read through. Next up for me is a first time read of All the Seas in the World by the same author.

The Wheel of Time will always be one of the most impactful books of my life. I really needed it when I was immersed within. I've been wanting to reread for some time, but I've been holding off until I really need again. 💜

Currently, I'm reading A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon

The chosen mode for the story flow has been a bit challenging for me, but not so much as to overcome my interest in the story. I've enjoyed it much and will see it through.

Such a gorgeous cover too.

Was reading Release That Witch but dropped it pretty fast. Other than that, catching up on the latest volume of Ascendance of a Bookworm, patiently waiting for Re:Zero vol 22 and slowly making my way through the Spice & Wolf audiobooks

I'm currently reading "Les Enfants de Ji" from Pierre Grimbert. I like to read some French fantasy authors once in a while. Otherwise, I was taking a break from the Wheel of Time, the next book on my list being the seventh one.

Not high fantasy but currently reading Jon's ridiculous shooting case by AJ sherwood. Taking a break from China Melville after finishing Un Lun Dun. Needed something lighter and fun and silly.

I'm reading The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu. So far it's excellent. I feel it's criminally underrated on Goodreads.

I'm rereading (listening) to A Song of Ice and Fire series, currently in the early part of Storm of Swords. I really fell down the theory rabbit hole in the last couple years and finally decided to reread them all after bouncing off a couple of unrelated nonfiction books I had been struggling through.

I couldn't get past the halfway mark of the second book. Just something about his writing style that just doesn't jive with me. Like the story and characters were interesting, but reading it felt like work.

Hmm, audiobooks solve this problem for me since I can kinda let it happen while driving or doing absent minded chores.

I can definitely understand that being a turnoff. There is an aspect to this reread where I am questioning a bit as to how much I actually like the books themselves, versus the idea of them I had in my head after reading so many fan theories and such.

Can't get into audiobooks, think the issue is the narrator in my head is better than the audiobook narrator in most cases.
