That was some story! Quite different, but also quite similar (to the rest of the series). Also, part of the ending was expected, but was surprised by the rest. Looking forward to where the story goes from here.

Also read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. The first Witcher book.

I read it quite a while ago, but hadn't finished the series, so got a boxed set and reading it now. I had forgotten how Fairy Tales heavy this book is.

Bingo squares (for both boooks): Author from a Different Continent (hard mode), Now a Major Motion Picture, Short and Sweet, Based on Folklore, Off your TBR Pile, also possibly Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Working my way through "The Monkey and the Monk" translated by Anthony C. Yu after giving up on the unabridged "The Journey to the West." Boy there is a lot of repetition... It's a bit of a slog but I want to get through it.
