This was a nice week for book reading. Don't usually get this much time generally.

Finished The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. I didn't like the writing style initially but got used to as I read along. It's a small book, just a little more than 100 pages. An umm... interesting read.

Got my copy of The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson. Really liked the book. It was a fun, light book. There was much less action than I was expecting, after reading the announcement of the book, but that didn't make book any less enjoyable. Finished the book in two days, which I rarely get to do now.

Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of Dresden Files. I have just started it, but it's the same Dresden Files. Nothing to say about that.

Aye I'm reading one of Sanderson's secret projects right now! It's the latest one. I don't want to spoil the title for anyone. But it hasn't been one of Sanderson's best works in my opinion. Feels a bit YA. But as long as I get some extra Cosmere knowledge I'm on board!

I have read first two secret projects, and both are a bit on the lighter side. I think that's the tone he went with for all of them.

Considering how fast he wrote them I'm not surprised.
