Reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). About halfway through the book, things are getting interesting, mainly because we are learning more of the world and how it works, still no solution to actual problem though, but I doubt we will get it before the end.

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

Currently reading Slow Gods by Claire North and I'm really enjoying it so far (I'm about 25% in) - its a sci-fi which tackles many currently relevant questions like end-stage capitalism, gender identity and activism. Your uncle who calls everything woke would hate it.

I really enjoyed this one. Shades of The Culture novels with a dash of cosmic horror
