Still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin. There are some interesting points in it, though not implementing anything right now, just reading the book.

Finished volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.

Started The Passage by Justin Cronin. Saw it recommended here a few times, and ordered the trilogy, books are so much longer than I expected. Each book can probably be divided in 2 and still be on slightly thicker end of average book size. I am still at the start, only 60-70 pages yet. Getting a slight feel of Stephen King books. Let's see how it progresses.

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

A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

I've started rereading The Way of Kings and The Lies of Locke Lamora in Spanish. LLL is a bit of a struggle even remembering several parts of it word for word but TWoK is much more simply-written, it's quite encouraging getting through a few sentences at a time without needing to stop to translate something. Still working up the mental energy to start Words of Radiance, it's been hard to get into anything new lately.

On the other hand, I have a few dozen tvtropes tabs open and, like some kind of hydra, every time I close one I somehow end up with more than I had before. I don't even care about the outdated fan speculation for Monster Hunter games, but I can't stop!

I started Harry Potter in Spanish a long time ago, didn't get past first page. Should give it another try.
