Still reading Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore.
Also reading some web novels.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
Book Bingo for this year has officially finished. If you participated in it, check out the Turn in post.
Our next book bingo will be starting soon. Both @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe are hard at work making it the best Book Bingo yet! Stay tuned!
Finished Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett. Discworld books are always a delightful read.
Currently reading London Rules by Mick Herron, which I put down about halfway through, a long time ago, and never got back to. I’m trying to kill time til new bingo starts, and this is going to be the new season of Slow Horses, so I figured now was a good time to finish it. It’s fun.
How fo the Slow Horses books compare to the show? I’ve been curious to give them a try since I’m enjoying the show so much.
The show’s done the usual cutting, streamlining, or tweaking that adaptations do, like making Lamb less of an offensive jerk and River a little more competent than in the books. Otherwise, I think they’re pretty similar, tbh; same story beats, very snarky, fairly quick-paced. There’s something about the first 3 that I liked better than the next couple (which is why I put this one on pause), but I can’t put my finger on it.
Oh interesting! I’m on season 4 now and have been bothered by River’s inconsistent levels of competency. I wonder if he’s more consistent in the books now.
