John Nelson is 36% done with King Sorrow
Written by Stephen King’s son, and it’s telling. Very similar storytelling and writing, but feels fresher. Fascinating and horrifying concept thus far. Can’t wait to see how the story moves forward! It’s kind of a slog to read, but I’m also enjoying it

Well, this is shaping up to be closer to the 2-year Bible at this point. Onward!

John Nelson is 32% done with Alchemised
So far, I kind of hate this book. I’m not invested in any characters, nor the plot. But that’s not going to deter me from finishing this monstrously long thing. I’m a completionist, but this is testing my resolve.

John Nelson is 10% done with As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride
Had to stop this book because I ran out of Spotify audiobook hours for the next 10 days. But this is SO very enjoyable! As a huge fan of the movie, it’s a behind the scenes discussion from most of the actors & directors.

John Nelson is 60% done with Vagabond: A Memoir
I’m not very invested in this memoir. Tim Curry narrates it, but after a stroke and having several decades of life behind him, it’s difficult to listen to. I’ve been listening at 2x speed, which helps. Gonna finish, just on principle.

John Nelson is 65% done with The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)
Ran out of Spotify audiobook hours, so I jumped over to re-read (listen) to this glorious book. It's so simple and well-written. Wish the author would finally finish the series, but the journey is still worth it without an ending.

John Nelson is 50% done with Demon Copperhead
Never read David Copperfied, but this is a fascinating book. Doing the audiobook version, and I know I went to school with this guy. Sounds just like half my childhood friend group.

I’m doing it wrong. It’s time for a spiritual kick in the face with truth & grace.
