Finished Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. Fourth book of The Dresden Files. Things keep getting worse, stakes keep getting higher, Harry keep going through hell. Same old, same old.

Currently Reading Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King. It was recommended on reddit for books similar to the comic Y: The Last Man. I didn’t used to like Stephen King much before, but I can understand why. Book is 700 pages long, and first 100 or so pages were pretty much just a set up. I didn’t use to have patience for such slow books in my youth, though I am enjoying it now.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

    Well, I don’t know about his other work, but I am liking Sleeping Beauties. I don’t know how I will feel the book when I finish it, but right now I am thinking about getting a couple more of his books.

      I’ve been meaning to read Fairy Tale. I started it awhile ago and was enjoying it, but then had to put it down and haven’t been able to get back to it. (Doesn’t help that my read list just keeps growing)

        Haven’t heard of Fairy Tale before (which isn’t surprising since I haven’t been keeping up with King’s work), but the concept sounds good. Not to mention I am enjoying Sleeping Beauties so going to look up more of his work.

          I was looking at Sleeping Beauties as well. Be curious to hear your thoughts. I also just got my hands on Holly in audiobook, but I think I’m gonna give Fairy Tale a listen as my next audiobook.
