Holidays are over! Happy New Year!

I didn't get much to read over the holidays, but I finished The Black Company by Glen Cook. The story was interesting but the way it is written made it hard for me to read. Still, going to continue with the trilogy and see if second book is any better in that regard.

Currently reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. Loving the book. The series just keeps getting better and better.

What about you? What have you been reading or listening?

Still trying to read;

Eleanor is completely fine
Theranos

But at the moment my university just doesn’t want me to read and to take a bit of steam-off, I either game or watch shows.

Evil university, not letting you read!

Can't find "Theranos", is it this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Blood%3A_Secrets_and_Lies_in_a_Silicon_Valley_Startup ?

Yeah, that’s the one! Apologies. I’m used to calling it “Theranos” because that was her ‘companies’ name.

I really recommend it. It is insane what she did, how she did it and the entire thing with the people involved.

Just remember though, it is a bit of a tough read. The author is very detailed about it all (the company, people, medical devices and such).

Ah, no worries, thanks for the info.
