Just finished reading the Lividian LE of Robert McCammon's "Leviathan". What a bittersweet feeling! This is one of my favorite authors and has been one of my favorite series of books for the last quarter century. Was Leviathan the best book in the series, no, but it was an extremely good read and a very fitting end to the series. As always, McCammon's writing is top-notch, and pretty much everything worked for me within the story. Also, I truly loved the ending. McCammon found a way to make it both bittersweet and also very fun and unexpected. I know it will probably never happen due to the author wanting to retire in the near future, but boy would I like to see where he could go if he were to continue on with the ending of this book. Truly going to miss this series of books as I feel like I could read Matthew Corbett stories forever.

I've been reading the entire Corbett series this year. I think I had only previously read the first four books and figured I should reread those and finish the series up.

I'm probably about 20% of the way through Leviathan. I took a detour between the short short collection and this one to read another book. Also feel the need to toss some other things in-between books, especially after The King of Shadows which was such a slog. Worst one of the series IMHO.

Right before Leviathan, I read The Whyte Python World Tour by Travis Kennedy. THIS BOOK WAS A BLAST! Right up my alley - 80's hair metal with a touch of cold war espionage.

Hoping to finish Leviathan in the next week or two, and then probably I'll read some random comics before starting The Expanse series for my 2026 goal.

Curious to hear your thoughts on LEVIATHAN when you're finished. I had very strong opinions about it, lol.

Just finished reading the Cemetery Dance Deluxe Special Edition of "The Stand". Took me close to 3 weeks and enjoyed it every step of the way. Has been a while since I read this book and it was like visiting with old friends. Also, after all of these years, I can't believe that I still get choked up when King kills off Nick or when the group leaves Stu behind after breaking his leg. Just really good writing from King. Overall, glad to finally have read ( and received) this version of the Stand!

Am now reading the PS LE of Stephen King's 11/22/63. Has been sitting in my TBR pile for a while. Figured I would do King reads for the holiday and also catch up said pile!
