Real late in making this thread this week - but I got busy…

What book is currently on your nightstand? How do you like it? Would you recommend it to others?

    Just finished Hitler’s Secret, a really well written WW2 spy novel. Pretty page turning, I needed something lighter after some of the other things I was reading the well before. A bit unbelievable in parts but I find you usually expect that with thrillers sand it’s best just to go with the flow!

    I’m about to finish the second book in the mistborn series. Have you guys heard of fictionaries. They are supplemental dictionaries you can load on to your Kindle. So like I have one for Brandon Sanderson’s cosamer series. Which is super helpful. I can like click a characters name and get a little synopsis, which with his love for character back stories is helpful. There are like different ones you can download so you don’t get spoilers. It is made reading any of these books that have so much character, backstory and exposition way easier

    Two books in progress:

    • Deep Work by Cal Newport, and
    • Tress of the Emerald Sea& by Brandon Sanderson

    I’m going to try make some progress on them at least this weekend but there’s a bunch of things going on with life stuff. Boy do I miss having nothing to do but read.
