Hello everyone! The weekly threads are back after a small hiatus.

I was reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series), picked it up again but bookmark had dropped somewhere and I couldn't find where I was, so may start from some earlier place.

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

Soviet-era sci-fi, The Final Circle of Paradise (Хищные Вещи Века) by Strugastky brothers.

It's really weird. MC poses as a writer in a peaceful resort town while investigating a case, but the townsfolk are just strange and unpleasant. There is a conflict between "intels" (high society type of people) and regular people, but it is still unclear if anyone is in the right.
