Finished Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl.
spoiler for book 2
I thought Bea will show up in the second book, though it looks like she is actually dead now. Carl has a point if she was still alive some show will have found her by now.
It looks like they are going to do something in future books and split up Carl and Donut. Not a fan of this in most books, so let’s see how it goes.
Started Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski. Book 2 of The Witcher series. This is the second short story collection, after which comes the 5 book novel series. I read the series quite a while ago, but never finished all the novels, so re-reading the earlier books to finally complete the series.
What about all of you? What have you all been reading or listening to lately?

I just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I loved it. Fantastic. The sense of exploration worked nicely, the past/present split storytelling worked well to drive the plot, and I absolutely adored the chance friendship that developed.
I’m still in the middle of A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan. I’m enjoying it, reading a chapter or two each day.
I’ve also started Soul Music by Terry Pratchett. I’m hit or miss on Pratchett, so I’m happy to be enjoying this one.
I’ve read a couple of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, but it’s been a bit. I should maybe request the next one from the library.
Out of curiosity, have you seen the Project Hail Mary film? I read The Martian long before I saw the movie. Loved both, but I think having many years between helped me not compare them too much.
This time around I’ve seen Hail Mary, and am wondering what the experience might be like to read the book after.
No, not yet. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie. It’ll be a bit; there’s a queue for the hold at my local library.
