Started next book in the Dresden Files series, Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. This is book 13, and is pretty unique so far. The previous book "Changes" has changed quite a bit, and now we are living those changes.

Can't put it down, want to see how it develops!

My previous book, Streams of Silver covers 2 bingo squares: Title: [X] of [Y] and Off your TBR pile (hard mode).

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

I'm rereading the entire discworld series but in a new language and I'm just loving it. I'm just about to finish equal rites, and I'd honestly forgotten what a joy these books are. I miss Terry Pratchett and his profoundly positive impact on me.

Nice. Learning a new language? Or just a different language you already knew?

Reading a book is a great way to improve your language skills, also makes learning fun.

Learning a new language, I can speak and understand pretty well now, but reading is a great way to expand vocabulary I think.

Yeah, reading is great for that.
