Finished Tripwire by Lee Child, third book in the Jack Reacher series.

Ending was expected, but I guess if you have such a long running series, pretty much ending will always be expected. Bad guy meets Reacher, bad guy loses, Reacher wins. Fun to read though, which is the main point. Going to keep reading them.

Don't think it ticked any of the Bingo boxes though.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I have yet to read Goblin Quest, but I do really like that author. His Liberiomancer series is really good.

So I am onto the second book of Goblin Quest and my opinion has only slightly shifted. If you take it more as an anthropological take on goblin society its kind of fun and interesting.

This would be even better if it were a side series off a much larger world that ran into goblins, hobgoblins and ogres from time to time to help give color to their idiosyncrasies compared to the adventures whose narrative you read from.
