Finished Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn.
It was interesting where the story is going. Character development and the world building is interesting. Not a big fan of how the book ended, but I guess this is how it had to be. Looking forward to the next book.
Finished Gangsta Granny by David Williams.
My kid got it from school library, and wanted me to read it too. It's mainly about how kids find old people boring and old people weren't always old, they lived a life before reaching this age. A fun middle-grade novel. Highly recommended (for kids).
Also read it's sequel Gangsta Granny Strikes Again
The first half felt a bit childish to me (that's not a negative, it is a children's book), but enjoyed the latter half, but mentioning any of that will be a spoiler for the first book. If you read the first book and like it, I would also highly recommend the sequel.
Reading Amulet series by Kazu Kibushi. It's a graphic novel series for middle-grade, and was highly recommended by Brandon Sanderson.
There are 9 books in total, I have been getting them one at a time but was waiting to collect all the books before starting it. So, finally got the whole set and started reading it. Have finished the first 5, and am currently reading the 6th one.
Highly recommended for fantasy fans, both young and old.

I finished "dungeon crawler Carl" by Matt Dinniman, and currently reading the second book in the series "Carl's doomsday scenario". So, even though I didn't remember getting the first book, and being a bit reluctant to start it, I enjoyed it a lot. I did have to get into it for a while. Overall the pacing is nice, the humor is great without getting in the way. The premise of the story is of course quite nonsensical, but it doesn't get in the way of some good storytelling. All in all a very entertaining book.
Woo!! Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best! The most recent book was a trip.
