RE: What are you reading?
Currently reading part three of the Super Powereds series by Drew Hayes. A fresh, if not novel, take on the super-hero genre. In this case, it's the elite training available from colleges and the story of a particular class of students as they navigate the ever more difficult challenges leading to graduation, and super-hero status. Fun and engaging reads, so far.

The Fleet at Flood Tide, by J.D. Hornfischer - a riveting tale of the Allied Pacific Campaign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_D._Hornfischer

His Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors is also excellent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_S...an_Sailors This one focuses on the battle off Samar, the Samuel B Roberts, and the USS Johnston. They needed side cars for their stones.

Finished The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy this morning.  I thought I had read it before but I seemed to have missed more of his books than I thought.  Nearly twenty hours on Audible.  For a while I was getting a little bored but it picked back up and twisted into an ending I didn't expect.  Overall, I liked it.

I still have several books in my library and several credits available.  Now to figure out what to listen to next.  I may knock out a couple much shorter books before I go back to a marathon read (listen).

I'm currently doing a re-read of the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks. Fantasy with a lot of political intrigue, which is a refreshing change from the political idiocy we see day to day these days.

Since @Ravenshire mentioned the author and series, I purchased the first book.

The Black Prism by Brent Weeks.

Reading the beginning of this book, it is interesting how popular fiction has deviated gramatically.
