Reading The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Book 2 of Confederation series. Life has been pretty busy lately, so this one is taking quite a while to finish.

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

Just looked it up, looks interesting. Also just found out that using fifth amendment can be used as evidence against you, I thought that wasn't allowed.

IIRC, you need to actually assert that you are exercising your 5A rights; simply remaining silent is not sufficient.

But yeah, SCOTUS has really significantly weakened that amendment, in a very bad way.
