Finished Tripwire by Lee Child, third book in the Jack Reacher series.

Ending was expected, but I guess if you have such a long running series, pretty much ending will always be expected. Bad guy meets Reacher, bad guy loses, Reacher wins. Fun to read though, which is the main point. Going to keep reading them.

Don't think it ticked any of the Bingo boxes though.

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

It's alright.

Its shortish and I am like halfway through, and so far have yet to be forced to smile. It's an interesting idea of doing it from the Goblins perspective, but I don't feel enough time was spent in the beginning to get me attached to the character enough. I also just feel like it could be better in general, maybe it will be in the last half.

I haven't done audiobook in a while. Last one I did was one of Sanderson's Stormlight archive books and it was a little overwhelming while doing anything that requires any amount of focus.

I have yet to read Goblin Quest, but I do really like that author. His Liberiomancer series is really good.

Yeah. When I first tried audio, I couldn’t do it at all. I just kept missing too much. I had to teach myself how to do it and once it clicked, I couldn’t go back.

I find it helps me stay on task when doing tedious tasks while listening, but I can’t work my day job and listen either.
