Just a few pages remaining now, would've finished it, but kid got a book from his school library, and wanted me to read it too, so reading Gangsta Granny by David Williams.

Recently finished a re-read of Lord of the Rings, and am working my way through The Silmarillion again now. Found them in gorgeous hardback editions that also have Tolkien’s illustrations. Ideally once I’m finished with Silmarillion I’ll start in on Tolkien’s other works that I’ve never read at all - Unfinished Tales, Morgoth’s Ring, etc.

Reading The Silmarillion can confuse anyone, so your name makes sense 😀

Just started Cormyr: a Novel as research for a D&D setting I'm building. It's the history of the nation Cormyr, told in the format of a novel, bouncing back and forth through time. The first chapter is from the eyes of the black dragon that rules the Great Forest, and then chapter 2 starts in the modern day, with the king of Cormyr, standing where the Great Forest used to be

I'm rereading Malazan Book of the Fallen this year, but adding in some of the Bauchelain & Broach short stories and maybe a few Esslemont books too. This'll be the third go round for the first 5 books and the second reread for the last 5. It's amazing how many tiny details are planted in the first books that pay off by the end of the series. The references, foreshadowing, and thematic follow throughs are insane and I pick up more each time.

I'm in House of Chains right now.

Just finished Authority by Jeff VanderMeer. Although not quite as big a mindfuck as the first novel in the series, it was still a gloriously unnerving, tense novel, and still deeply strange. Loved it.

Just started Babylon's Ashes in the Expanse series. So far a little slow to start; but then they often seem to be. I have faith that I'll get into it when it gets going.
