Finished Ghost Story by Jim Butcher.
That was some story! Quite different, but also quite similar (to the rest of the series). Also, part of the ending was expected, but was surprised by the rest. Looking forward to where the story goes from here.
Also read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. The first Witcher book.
I read it quite a while ago, but hadn’t finished the series, so got a boxed set and reading it now. I had forgotten how Fairy Tales heavy this book is.

I just started reading One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It’s tells the story of a day in the life of a prisoner in a soviet prison camp, set in the early 1950’s. I picked it up because the premise seemed interesting and also reminded me of Dostoevsky’s The House of the Dead. Both authors had first hand experience of Russian prison camps. Seems like an interesting read and I’m surprised I’ve never heard of the author before, even though he won a Nobel prize for literature.
