Finished Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It's first of three novellas written between book 2 and 3 of Cytoverse series.
Finished ReDawn, the next novella after Sunreach, by same authors.
Before reading these novellas, I considered them side stories, which may help expand the universe and give background info about other characters, but nothing big in main scheme of things, but the way story has progressed in these, anyone who miss these will missing out on a lot.
Of course, I have yet to read the next novel, so maybe it will cover some of the important bits, let's see.
After the novellas, I have started Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher, book 8 of Dresden Files. These novels keep getting longer, if I recall correctly, the first few were around 300 or so pages, this one is over 550 pages. Not that I am complaining, they are a fun read, but just an observation.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. It gets a lot of flack for being so similar to LotR, but... who doesn't want more LotR? I'm enjoying it!
I started it a loooong time ago, soon afte LotR, and gave up after 50 pages or so, and never visited it again. I have heard it becomes it own things in later novels.
I like Terry Brooks' other work, so glad that you are enjoying it!
In my opinion, it's worth the read. I definitely see the parallels to LotR, but imo if you work hard enough, you can similarly compare any fantasy book (one that came after Lord of the Rings) and say "this is just Lord of the Rings but _______".. at least that's my rationalization. Lol.
