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?

Lately I've been flying through Lois McMaster Bujold's Penric & Desdemona series, currently on Book 11, The Assassins of Thasalon. These are cozy and short, but definitely enjoyable.

Lois is my all-time favorite author on the strength of Curse of Chalion, but I bounced off the Penric & Desdemona series with Book 10. The way it started with a plague felt Too Soon after COVID.

Hmm. I should try reading it again. I loved the series otherwise.

Yeah, The Physicians of Vilnoc was a bit of a low point for the series tbh. For a 120-page story, it really didn't accomplish much aside from establishing a few new side characters. I'm happy to report that Book 11 is the longest of the series (so far) and quite enjoyable!
