Back to reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Only read couple of pages, but things are setting down so should be getting back to reading more.

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

I'm sludging my way through a book I picked up on a whim called The Astral Library by Kate Quinn. I like the plot enough, but the writing is pretty subpar, the narrator (character) is annoying and the narrator (audiobook) makes questionable voicing choices. The whole book so far is just a little on the nose and it feels like the writer doesn't trust the reader to understand anything.

I will probably finish it but do not really recommend at this point.
