Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Though, technically I hadn't read anything last two weeks to it's more of "got back to reading".

It's still book 3, but I found it interesting how different it is from Dresden Files. There is no forces of nature with personal enmity with the protagonist (yet), it's just (magic) crimes being solved by (magic) police. More of a police procedural then whatever genre Dresden Files is πŸ˜€

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

I’m still working through Drew Hayes Super Powereds series, I’ve finished book 3 and am reading a spin-off called Corpies that takes place during book 3.

The quality has definitely improved. Still could have benefited from a good editor but not quite as much as before. It’s moved into A tier.

I thought you might give up after the last one. Glad it improved.

Oh, I have finished plenty worse series πŸ˜‚. I read the first two books of a trilogy that was cancelled because it was so bad once.

lol, don't even know how to reply to that πŸ˜€ Have fun, I guess!

Allow me to be clear, I was not aware that it had had been canceled until I tried to find the third book in the series, but when I found out that it had been canceled, I was like, β€œyeah… That makes senseβ€œ. πŸ˜‚

lol, still not sure if I should be happy for you that you were saved from a bad book, or sad for you that you couldn't finish the story πŸ˜€
