Still reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.

Just a few pages remaining now, would've finished it, but kid got a book from his school library, and wanted me to read it too, so reading Gangsta Granny by David Williams.

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

Just finished Money: Master the Game by Tony Robbins. A friend asked me to read it knowing I can't stand the author. The advice isn't anything revelatory, if you haven't read a good bit about retirement this isn't a bad book. But he uses 25 words when 3 would do, and doesn't really talk about the people who failed so it's very much survivor or outcome biased.

I'm about to re-read First Break All the Rules and will start Half Share by Nathan Lowell. I really loved quarter share and am excited to get to book 2 in the series.

Looked up the series just to see where it goes after Half Share. Three Quarter Share didn't sound like a good name, but no, he went to Full Share and then Double Share.

Then captains share and owners share I've just learned. My brother in law recommended em.

Would love to see how you like the whole series.

I'll probably read them all but it'll take a long while. I only read one or two fiction books a month and I like to mix it up so I don't stay with the same author or genre.

No worries. I already have too many books to read. 😀

Isn't that a wonderful problem! 😁
