Finally got some reading time and finished Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series)!

It's a very quick book, which is kind of ironic for me to say, since I took months to finish it, but finished the last third or so of the book in a single sitting.

There were certain things in the start that I didn't like, but was enjoying the book by the time I finished it. Would love to read more in the series.

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

I just chugged through the last third of The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell so I didn't have to say I was still reading it for the billionth week in a row. I'm conflicted: the story was interesting and well-written, but it never really grabbed me. Normally I'd blame this on pacing, but I didn't find it overly slow, so I'm not sure why I didn't take to it more.

Now to pick out something new!
