Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Though, technically I hadn’t read anything last two weeks to it’s more of “got back to reading”.

It’s still book 3, but I found it interesting how different it is from Dresden Files. There is no forces of nature with personal enmity with the protagonist (yet), it’s just (magic) crimes being solved by (magic) police. More of a police procedural then whatever genre Dresden Files is 😀

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

    I’ve put the spy thriller I was trying to read on hold for now, since I just haven’t been in the mood for it.

    Instead, I read:

    The Formidable Miss Cassidy by Meihan Boey (cozy-ish historical urban-ish fantasy) | bingo: another continent, award (hard), minority author

    A Scottish governess helps out two families with their mundane and supernatural issues in 1890s Singapore.

    This was cute, and I’ll be putting the sequels on my list of things to read when I need some light fluff. Recommended, but don’t go into it expecting the kind of thing that features modern inserts flouting society left and right: the characters generally do what’s expected of them, even when they’re frustrated by the limitations and injustices of their world.
