It's a fantastic series.
I just finished Bookshops & Bonedust, which is my last read of 2023. It was good, but I did like Legends & Lattes a little more.Now I've started System Collapse.
The books I finished in December. Not including, Beautiful Ruins, which was a DNF for me.Yumi and the Nightmare Painter ★★★★★
Saga, Volume 11 ★★★★★
Bookshops & Bonedust ★★★★
And I'm starting off the year with The Fragile Threads of Power.
Just finished System Collapse. It was eh. Going to start Mislaid in Parts Half-Known as soon as it comes out.
Just finished “I’d Rather be Reading” by Anne Bogel. And i am 70% through Well of Ascension. I consider myself a Hobbling. But i am truly loving Sanderson’s works.
I finished Leviathan Wakes last night. It was an intense ride. I'm looking forward to following more of this series this year.
Just finished One Dark Window!!! Super good! But then I started the sequel and I have not been loving it...

I think the only book I actually finished in January was Dust of Dreams. ★★★★But now, having finished The Crippled God last week, I'm finally finished with Malazan after a mere five months.
I followed it up with a couple issues of New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine, and have now started Ann Leckie's Translation State
And now for something completely different: A Winter Pilgrimage: Being an Account of Travels through Palestine, Italy, and the Island of Cyprus, accomplished in the Year 1900.
I started That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon. Also been reading Esrahaddon, which is huge and heavy, but good so far.
Started The Book of Ile-Rien: The Element of Fire & The Death of the Necromancer, Martha Wells' new collection of two of her very early novels.
I finished a couple books in February. Both were good. The Fragile Threads of Power ★★★★
Such a Fun Age ★★★★
After those many months of nothing but Malazan, I had a very busy February:The Crippled God ★★★★
New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine: Issue #1 ★★★★
New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine: Issue #2 ★★★★
Translation State ★★★★
A Winter Pilgrimage: Being an Account of Travels through Palestine, Italy, and the Island of Cyprus, accomplished in the Year 1900 ★★★
Lysbeth A Tale Of The Dutch ★★★★
Pearl-Maiden: A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem ★★★★
I finished That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon. Not really my thing, but it was still a fun romp. My mood is erratic right now, so reading a historical fiction: Daughter of Moloka'i.
I finished The Book of Ile-Rien: The Element of Fire & The Death of the Necromancer and started The Earth is Flat: Tales from the Flat Earth and Elsewhere, a recent collection of Tanith Lee's heretofore uncollected Flat Earth stories.
I finished Caliban's War last night. Really loving this series so far. Now, I don't know if it's worth it to read the novellas or not, but regardless I'm going to start Gods of Risk next.

The Bonehunters ★★★★☆
and I immediately followed it up with Reaper's Gale, which I didn't finish until today. (And am now a bit of a way into Toll the Hounds.)
