Just finished the best damn novella I've read in years: Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream by Stephen King. Literally stayed up til all hours of the night to finish it. A simple premise executed perfectly.

Coming to the end of Far Sector and oh my god... SO GOOD. An immaculately crafted sci-fi murder mystery that requires no previous reading--this is my first Green Lantern story!

Currently reading a collection of Star Wars comics from Marvel set between episodes 4 and 5. They're actually amazing! Love these Modern Era Epic Collections. Highlight so far is Vader discovering who Luke really is...

18% of the way through #Oathbringer Part One. I literally go into a trance when I read #StormlightArchive... It flies by like a Highstorm.
