Finished Cold Days by Jim Butcher! (The 14th book in Dresden Files series.)

It was a wild ride! We are back to world shattering problems and trying to stop them. Just finished the book so haven't finalised which one to start next, but thinking about reading the next Mistborn book, 3rd one in Wax and Wayne era. Let's see.

Bingo Squares: None.

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

I started reading The Darkness That Comes Before by R. Scott Bakker based on a recommendation from a friend and I've been enjoying it!

The pacing and world building are well done, the characters are nuanced, and there's a vagueness in his writing that lends itself well to the fantasy world. Makes it seem more mysterious and interesting.
