Finished Ghost Story by Jim Butcher.

That was some story! Quite different, but also quite similar (to the rest of the series). Also, part of the ending was expected, but was surprised by the rest. Looking forward to where the story goes from here.

Also read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. The first Witcher book.

I read it quite a while ago, but hadn't finished the series, so got a boxed set and reading it now. I had forgotten how Fairy Tales heavy this book is.

Bingo squares (for both boooks): Author from a Different Continent (hard mode), Now a Major Motion Picture, Short and Sweet, Based on Folklore, Off your TBR Pile, also possibly Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

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

Looked it up, was disappointed to see that it wasn't an actual stainless steel rat.

It doesn't get much better.

As an aside thank you for posting these. It's been fascinating to see what people are reading, maybe add the books to my own wishlist.

Yeah, the amount of books in my wishlist have skyrocketed since I started these. Also glad to see people are enjoying it, thanks.
