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?

There's a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven't started this year's Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are ~~still 6 months remaining~~ only ~~5~~ 4 months to go!

For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

Oh, I understand that and agree with that too. You should know the things you don't agree with, to know why you don't agree with them 😀

I think most people who read regularly will agree with this.

BTW I haven't read Mein Kampf, but it's on my list. One day.

Omg, thank you so much for reassuring me. Man, the internet is scary nowadays. You don't know what's next people are gonna get mad about and start berating you for it, so, I tend to be a bit cautious in that regard (some times I lose it and start talking shit anyway. Lol). Yeah, Mein Kampf was a very good read. Not that its content is good, but a good thing to read to know what was happening in that dude's head (spoiler: he was insane). He had a good brain on him, but he used it in the wrong places 100% at a time. I read the book in my language, and I want to read it in English, too. I also have read some of the book "bullshit jobs" and got distracted by the new ones I'm reading now. I'll get back to it after. I love reading nonfiction.
