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?

I finished Real Tigers by Mick Herron (Slough House book 3). It was enjoyable and gripping for most of the book. I had a hard time following the final action sequence, but that's a common problem I have in action-heavy books/movies, so doesn't really reflect on the book.

Now I'm reading Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey (Harper Hall of Pern book 2). I've been really enjoying the Pern books so far, especially this trilogy. I find the main character very likeable, the story is simple but compelling, and the creatures are super fun. A great read all around.

I’ve read the first two of the Slough House series of books, but because I’m really enjoying the tv adaptation I’ve decided to watch through the tv show first until they complete before restarting the book series.
