Started the next book in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, Cold Days

Since it's the 14th book in the series, I can't say much about it without spoiling what happened in the previous books, but things have become very interesting. Though, the more the things change, the more they stay the same, Harry is still out of his depth, and stakes are still sky high.

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

I started Aurora Blazing by Jessie Mihalik last night. I barely started it and I’m glad I did. I love Mihalik’s work, she writes some really great space opera romance.

I started a book called The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Tutton because it became available at my library. I got about 40 pages in and I stopped because I’m just not feeling it at the moment. I’ll return it and try again another time because the premise of the book sounds really interesting. It kind of reminds me of The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa, which I absolutely loved.

I finished The Illustrated Woman by Melissa Bobe. I loved the short stories in this, I also really enjoyed how it was set up; a woman is wandering through a carnival and finds a woman with magic tattoos that show her the stories of different women who have come to her and their struggles. There were 2 stories that I would love seeing turned into full novels because I found the world very interesting. Leave Your Fear, You’ll Be Just Fine was probably my favorite.
