Finished Amulet series by Kazu Kibushi.

Love the story and art-style. Highly recommended for fantasy fans, specially younger audience.

Read Changes by Jim Butcher, book 12 of The Dresden Files.

I was expecting some "changes" due to the name and how people talk about the book, but wow, they changed everything. From the first line of the book to the last, it was fully captivating.

Wanted to start the next book right away, but held myself back.

Read Aftermath, the novella after Changes, from Side Jobs , short-story collection in Dresden Files world. This was the last story in the book, so I have officially finished Side Jobs too.

Many side stories are from point of view of different characters, and this was also from another character's point of view. So it was interesting to see how they view the world and hear their inner monologue.

Looking forward to where the story goes from here.

Started Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore, 2nd novel in Icewind Dale series, which is a subseries of Forgotten Realms series (D&D world).

Just started it, haven't even completed chapter 1, so can't say much about it.

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

  • recently finished reading Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, highly recommend it - reminded me of House of Leaves in some ways
  • I just started chapter three of Excluded by Julia Serano (non-fiction, most recent chapter was about the transphobic policies of the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival)
  • bouncing around Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad by Hil Malatino, I hated the introductory chapter(s) for the "academic" / queer theory style of writing that obscures more than it illuminates, but some of the later chapters seem to drop the pretense and there is some interesting content (e.g. loved learning about the trans Vanguard group sharing resources on how to drop acid in the 1970s, on the importance of foregoing self examination as beginner LSD users and instead "be with a beautiful person in a beautiful place doing beautiful things and being beautiful, and you will have a beautiful trip. Instead of thinking about yourself -- be.")
