Welcome to year’s first weekly thread! How are you all doing? And what are you book / reading related resolutions for this year?


I started Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken

Just started it, but looks like an interesting read. It’s about the ultra-processed food we eat these days.

Also skimming through Ryder Caroll’s The Bullet Journal Method. Read this last year (or was that year before that?) and wanted to check something but decided to skim through most of it.

Still reading The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson, 3rd book in the 2nd era of Mistborn. It was going great but didn’t get to read much last week or so, should be getting back to it now.

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

    Somehow this trilogy had fallen off my TBR list, but your excitement is making me move it to the top. It’s a great sign that you loved His Dark Materials and are still enjoying the new stuff–I’ll definitely check it out.

      I really enjoy his work and keep going back to it. I think it was someone here that was reading it last year that really put it on my radar again. Then when the last of the trilogy came out last year, I picked it up so I can read all 3 quickly.

      I’ve listened to the His Dark Material dramatized audiobook, which is narrated by Pullman. My head narrator is a mix of him and Attenborough. It’s great 😊
