Had a pretty busy work week, hardly got time to read anything. So still on The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

In a dramatic departure from usual scheduling I have only listened to one Deathlands book, number 101.
Other than that I have listened to “The Eyre Affair” and I am halfway through “Lost in a Good Book” these are the first two books of the “Thursday Next” series of books by Jasper Fforde.
Thursday Next: "Set in the Nextian Universe, where the ChronoGuard monitors the time stream, the Crimean War never ended and literature and croquet are national obsessions, the series follows the adventures of Thursday Next, Literary Detective and Jurisfiction agent. "
The Eyre Affair: “Acheron Hades, Third Most Wanted Man in the World, steals the original manuscript of Mr Chuzzlewit and kills a minor character, causing him to disappear from the pages of every copy in existence. But this was just a warning, his real target is Jane Eyre, who is kidnapped from the pages of literature. With the help of her uncle Mycroft, a genius inventor, Thursday enters the pages of Jane Eyre, teaming up with Rochester to foil Hades and rescue his beloved Jane.”
lost in a Good Book: “Thursday’s husband Landen has been eradicated by the Goliath Corporation. They’ll bring him back, but only if Thursday releases their top agent whom she trapped in the pages of The Raven. Unfortunately, the works of Poe are restricted, so newly minted Jurisfiction agent Thursday Next will need some help in the form of her new mentor, Miss Havisham.”
The entire universe is an absurd alternate history with ridiculous shit happening constantly and I’m loving it!
I won’t stand this! You need to catchup! Won’t hear any excuses next week!
How are you liking the Thursday Next series, heard kinda mixed stuff about it.
I know, for shame!
I am enjoying the Thursday Next books so far, I like how odd they are but I’m definitely not as drawn to them as I am some other stuff where I can’t wait to get into the next book of the series. I’m not going to drop the series yet as I am still enjoying it but this week I have gone back to deathlands again after that Thursday next respite xD
Deathlands FTW!
