This has also taken longer than expected. Not because it isn't glorious! It is just such a large book, my crappy arthritic hands can only hold it for about 30 mins at a time! Pretty sure this means I will definitely not hit my (self imposed) goal of averaging 2 a week but still...

Shadows of Self The Bands of Mourning Mistborn: Secret History The Lost Metal So I have now finished the 2nd Mistborn era! Just awesome!

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

Found this in my flat yesterday. I assume it is for me but I haven't got the foggiest who it is from! 🤣

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

I have been a #BrandonSanderson fan for a long time and, as anyone who knows me knows, I read a lot. Coming towards the end of Bands of Mourning, I have to say that "Almost I forgive you for your terrible dancing" is possibly the most beautiful and brilliant lines I've ever read.

000

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Wow, sped through The Well Of Ascension and The Hero of Ages (this was my 3rd or 4th read of them) which brings me to 31 books. Sticking with Mistborn for now and I am on The Alloy of Law

100

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

Back to #BrandonSanderson revisiting the #Mistborn series as I have more of them to read and I like to always start from the beginning... The Final Empire it is then! (Yes. The first book has Final in the title. Get over it)

100

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

Oh, also finished Who Let the Gods Out? by @mazevansauthor.bsky.social Knew it was aimed young but didn't realise how young. Still, lots of fun and definitely one to recommend to the nephew...

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

An Argumentation of Historians And Hope For The Best finished my @www.joditaylorbooks.com marathon! I have to congratulate Jodi on having a 10 book series without a slump! Obviously I like some more than others but every one was a joy to read

100

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

No Time Like the Past What Could Possibly Go Wrong Lies, Damned Lies and History And The Rest Is History All done, too! Onto book the penultimate...

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Totally helped me get over the fact that book 3 is called Second Chance! On to book 4, A Trail Through Time...

100

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Yesterday I read book 3, A Second Chance. Yeah. Finished it in one day. I could not put it down! I honestly do not think I have ever read anyone so good with comedy being possibly even better with pathos. Her depiction of the fall of Troy was not only heart breaking but, I think, better than Homer!

100

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Finished the Chakraborty Trilogy and definitely worth a read. Thought I would dip back in to @www.joditaylorbooks.com as I wanted something a bit lighter Book 2 of the St Mary's series felt more like a series of shorts loosely strung together. Still enjoyable and well written just not one story

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Have a guess what I am trying to recreate! (Extra points to Tim as the basil and oregano were grown and dried by yours truly) ((I also added a crumbled stock cube and sugar because I can never just follow a recipe))

11 herbs and spices. Salt, paprika, celery salt, oregano, basil, thyme, mustard powder, black pepper, ground ginger, white pepper and garlic granules.

Tim Frost @timsfrost.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Ok, thread got a bit confused but I think im on 15 so far... Next City of Brass - S A Chakraborty (start of another trilogy)
