Our Bingo for 2026 is Live! You can check Official Bingo Challenge Post and the accompanying Recommendations Post.

Big thanks to @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe for all the work they do to arrange these!

As for books, reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Didn't get much time, but slowly making progress.

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

Finished Cult Following: The Extreme Sects That Capture Our Imaginations—and Take Over Our Lives by JW Ocker. Was interesting but at the felt a bit shallow? Maybe i was expecting more of a deep dive on how cults form/beliefs. Not sure was short so maybe that was it. As an aside fuck the guy that ran the ant hill kids cult. That was probably the worst thing I have heard.

This week i started The Enemy Within by Christie Golden its a D&D book set in Ravenloft. Its next one the series I have. Its ok so far.

Also started audiobook of Queens of the Conquest by Allison Weir. Found myself wanting to do more historical/academic books lately at least for audiobooks. Not far into it but it is informative so far.
