Finished Mistborn: Secret Histories novella. Don't want to spoil, but it was really exciting to read this secret history.

Read Redshirts by John Scalzi. A sci-fi about the "redshirts" in a Star-Trek like universe. Highly recommended for any Star Trek fan.

Started Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire. First book in her October Daye urban fantasy series. This is my first Seanan McGuire book, have heard a lot about her.

Still skimming through The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll.

Putting Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken on hold for a bit, shouldn't have started multiple non-fiction at once. Will pick it up after finishing the Bullet Journal Method.

Bingo squares covered: Short and Sweed, Award Winner (Hard mode)

Let us know how October Daye is, I've read all of Incryptid and mostly kind of like it.

I happened to pop into my local fantasy bookshop on the weekend while I was out and about, and saw that the latest Dresden Files book was out. I completely forgot! I picked it up, but I need to get through The Fellowship of the Ring (~30% - the hobbits just met Tom Bombadil), Cold Days, Two Towers, Skin Game, Return of the King, Peace Talks and Battle Ground before I can read it. That's like 8 months at the rate I read these :/
