The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett

Re-reading Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore.

Other than the island, nothing about the title has anything to do with the story. Ahhh, classic Moore.

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore

Recently got back into "reading" again. I love the feel of reading physical books, and that's what I would prefer, but I have been forced to admit that I really can't keep that up, as reading physical books just make me sleepy. So I've gotten an Audible account and started listening to books again. Working my way through some stuff that I've long thought I should have read, mostly for completion's sake. So I just finished Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion and am currently working my way through Christopher Hitchens' God Is Not Great.

May additions:
The Well of Ascension - Mistborn #2 by Brandon Sanderson - 4.5
I love these characters, this book isn’t as good as 1 or 3, but its still solid.

Golden Son (Graphic Audio) - Red Rising #2 by Pierce Brown – 5.0
Maybe my favorite of the whole series. Its Non.Stop.Action.

The Hero of Ages - Mistborn #3 by Brandon Sanderson – 5.0
Cry like a baby every time.

Mistborn Secret History - Mistborn #3.5 by Brandon Sanderson – 4.0
It was fun reading this in parallel with Hero of Ages. Really helps me keep all of the Cosmere stuff in mind.

Artificial Condition – Muderbot Diaries #2 by Martha Wells – 4.25
Short and fun. Really digging this series and if you’re someone who wants to get back into reading it might be a great place to start.

The Alloy of Law – Mistborn #4 by Brandon Sanderson – 5.0
This book is 5 stars all the way. I love a Bromance that Wayne and Wax have. Give me witty banter all day, every day.

Shadows of Self – Mistborn #5 by Brandon Sanderson – 4.75
Solidifies that Wayne is top tier favorite character along with Steris. She and I are kindred spirits.

Morning Star – Red Rising #3 by Pierce Brown – 5.0
Satisfying end to the first 3 books in this saga. Graphic Audio wasn’t available unfortunately, so I’ll have to reread the series again… oh shame…
