Sorry missed last week's post, just busy with life.

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?

Reading "this inevitable ruin" by Matt Dinniman. I don't have much time to read at the moment, so about 1/3rd through after two weeks.

This was a really good one. Recency bias I suppose, but it was my favorite of the books.

I like this one so far, I took a hiatus from the series after "The Butcher's Masquerade" because it felt convoluted and a chore to read. "Eye of the Bedlam Bride" I listened to as an audiobook over the summer, but it took me over two months on my commute.

Ah. I read through the whole series (so far) earlier this year. Started in early May and had finished by mid-July.

I struggled getting into Feral Gods (4) and Anarchist’s Cookbook (3).

I may have hyper focused solely on this book series for about two months.
