Still reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).

Book is pretty fast paced and full of action. Really enjoying it.

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

    Hey Dressy!

    Hope you are well, bet you can’t guess what I’ve been listening to ;p So as always Deathlands has been on rotation and I am just finishing number 25 and still enjoying it.

    Other than those I listened to a couple of Goosebumps books. They were fun, I’m not sure how old your son / daughter (?) is but I would suggest giving one a try if they are interested in reading some light horror. They weren’t to graphic but still enough to instill a good, slightly unsettling image in parts that I imagine someone younger would find a little scary but in a good way if they were interested in horror as a genre. I remember enjoying them a lot when I was around the age of 10 and may be a little bit simplistic for say a teenager but it was an engaging story and well written.

    I also listened to “The Others” by Jeremy Robinson which is the second book in the Infinite series of books. It was a really good book that I couldn’t stop listening to and blazed through really quickly. It reminded me a lot of Dean Koontz stories in the way it was written, it had supernatural elements as well as a group of people vs government type agencies vs a supernatural element sort of interplay similar to the way his stories often go. I’m looking forward to what the rest of the Infinite series holds and enjoyed it a lot more than the first book!
