Hello everyone! The weekly threads are back after a small hiatus.

I was reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series), picked it up again but bookmark had dropped somewhere and I couldn't find where I was, so may start from some earlier place.

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

For details on the c/Books Bingo, check the Midpoint check-in post.

Heh. Just read the two Hierarchy books and now I’m on book three of The Hyperion Cantos.

Hyperion is so good. Fascinating story. The space bits really aren’t that important. Simmons does a good job of not getting caught up in the world building and instead tells a story in a truly bizarre world.

Fall of Hyperion struggled to keep my attention both times I read it.

About 25% of the way through Endymion and I’m having a hard time getting into it. Just finished a long section talking about the MC’s next strategic move… only to then transition to the antagonist having the exact same, mirrored conversation.

I want to finish the series… but it’s been a challenge.
