The silver lining is, I don't have to stay "still reading" for yet another week, as I finally finished Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Yet another case involving magic in London and the Police solving it.

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

Recently started We Were Eight Years in Power by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It feels quite apt in the current moment.

Ah really want to read something by him, I always like his no bullshit perspectives in interviews.

I think I've been a bit unfair to Coates in the past because I've felt like, outside of "The Case for Reparations" his writing reads like "James Baldwin-light". But I think he listens to criticism and I want to go back and finish Eight Years (I DNF'd it after re-reading the Reparations chapter) and read his new book The Message.
