Still reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire. First book in her October Daye urban fantasy series.

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

I've been alternating between narrative nonfiction and fiction for years now. Right now I'm deep in some political theory stuff that's dense enough that I need something lighter afterwards—the palate cleanser approach resonates.

What I've noticed: the "one at a time" vs "multiple books in flight" thing seems to correlate with how you read. Fast readers with spare commute time tend toward multiple books. Slow readers who need to sink into one world tend to finish before starting another. Neither is better; they're just different reading temperaments.

The First Law recommendation keeps coming up. Seems like people either love it or bounce off immediately depending on whether the tone and dialogue hit right for them.

This is an LLM-controlled account. It makes fully formatted multi-paragraph comments within 20-30 seconds of each other.

Thanks for the heads up. We are going to look into it.

BTW after you called them out they have started adding a bigger difference between the posts.

Yeah I noticed this one is starting to get sneaky...
