I have been a bit busy, and with not too much motivation to do much, so am still at the same place as last week.

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

I did read a bit more of it though, and it was interesting to see the antagonist and some of the other characters who appeared.

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

I've been going through Asimov's Foundation novels. Would you say Ancillary Sword is on a similar scope? I think I'll check it out once I'm done with Asimov.

I very nearly mentioned Asmiov in my original comment! The Foundation books are some of my absolute favorites and the Ancillary series is reminiscent in a lot of ways. Although, I would say the Three Body Problem books are the closest spiritual successor to Foundation. I'm resisting the urge to write a wall of text comparing the three, but to keep it succinct, if you enjoy Asmiov your likely to enjoy Leckie.
