Weekly Reading Check In #2

This week's reading hasn't been too bad. I finished an audio book since the last check in. And I make good progress in the two books that I'm currently reading.

I finished listening to Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. It was such a nice revisit to this world with characters I was familiar with. I hadn't quite realized how much I missed the feeling of camaraderie that they all shared. I ended up rating it 4 out of 5 stars.

The audio book that I'm currently listening to is Dragons of Winter Night by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. This is book two of the Dragonlance Chronicles. I'm currently 63% of the way through the book and hope to finish the book by the end of the week. I should be able to get in more listening in tonight as I get ready for bed and then tomorrow since I don't have to work tomorrow. I've been listening to it while getting ready for the day as well, which is been making it that much better. Listening to the audio book has been the way to go for me, I think, since I had had such a hard time completing the physical book for this. There's just something I love about having books that have adventure and action read to me that makes them just that much better.

As for physical books, I ended up picking up Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C Dao. I'm 36% of the way done with this one and it is quickly becoming a favorite retelling. This one is an east Asian retelling with some magical elements to it. And it's a retelling of the evil queen. I've loved what I've read so far. I want to not stop reading the book but at the same time take it slow since I don't want it to end. I'll be a bit sad when I finish this book.

If you have any thoughts on any of these books, I would love to hear them!

Kindred bookmate,
Cassie
