I've read low to mid 20s. Apparently Twelve Months wasn't a part of the original outline and Peace Talks/Battleground was supposed to be one. Someone on reddit thinks 25 is the current projection outside of further adjustments.

Mirror Mirror is the next novel, no idea on the timeline for that.

I think he's 30% done with Mirror Mirror. We do have the novella Out Law coming in may

I can't remember where I left off in my updates, but I reread through Battleground, read the Toot Toot short story and The Law for the first time, and finished up Twelve Months last night. Really enjoyed the slow burn. A lot of interesting reveals. I like Lara more and more, but she's always been a favorite of mine.

Probably will take a break from reading for a bit. Kinda burned myself out and neglected other hobbies

Haven't read the novellas, did you enjoy them?

I did. They don't add much to the main story, but flesh out the world more. The Toot Toot story is our first look of life in castle dresden. The Law is him getting back to his PI roots. The Law was kinda rushed, like "I needed to talk to so and so" and the next paragraph is Dresden at so and so's place, but it is to be expected for a novella

Last night I finished Prince Otto, by Robert Louis Stevenson and started When the Moon Hits Your Eye, by John Scalzi.

Thank you for adding the authors along with the title. So many just post the title which to me is disrespectful to the author.

Sam Houston & the Alamo Avengers by Brian Kilmeade
Probably the best of the Historical/Non-Fiction books that I have read.

Excellent book!

Just finished Twelve Months. Damn, that was good.

Eeeeenteresting

Been on a Fantasy kick lately:

Shadow of What Was Lost- James Islington. Really enjoyed this book, but it was KU so just waiting on the next two in the series to go to KU.

Shadow of the Gods- John Gwynn. Once you get used to the names, this book flew by with a great ending tying the three storylines together.

Sword of Shannara- Terry Brooks. This was a guilty pleasure re-read from my youth. I really liked it despite obvious parallels to LOTR that I might not have noticed in jr high.

Just started Hunger of the Gods- book two in the John Gwynn trilogy.

The best/worst part about following this thread is that it keeps increasing the size of my backlog.

Thanks for the recommendation! It was very, very good. It really fleshed out some of the holes I have from growing up with one history and some of the more recent "revelations". Not to mention, I grew up in Bryan and all of the schools were named after heroes of the Texas Revolution and it brought to life some of the lesser known names.

Completed: Read Write Own - Building the Next Era of the Internet by Chris Dixon. It tries to explain blockchain and how blockchain networks could power the internet. Interesting and easily readable, though I think the author is a bit overly optimistic.

Up next: The British Are Coming by Rick Atkinson. The first volume in a planned trilogy on the Revolution. I really enjoyed his trilogy of books on the African and European theaters in WW2 and am really looking forward to this one.

Mythos - Stephen Fry. Audiobook. Fry is funny (he narrates Hitchhiker's Guide), but overall, this was meh.

3/5.

Read The Sound and the Fury. My first book that used stream of consciousness. I enjoyed it, but I should probably reread it.

The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne - A

Couple of additional character povs, increased character complexity and depth for pov and non pov characters. Fast paced, Norse inspired, cool monsters and does a good job of balancing character and world stakes.

Prisoners of the Castle by Ben Macintyre. Solid book, non fiction just doesn't hold my attention like it used to.
