Started the next book in Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series, Cold Days

Since it’s the 14th book in the series, I can’t say much about it without spoiling what happened in the previous books, but things have become very interesting. Though, the more the things change, the more they stay the same, Harry is still out of his depth, and stakes are still sky high.

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

    Currently about halfway through Shutter by Ramona Emerson.

    Finished Cathedral of the Drowned by Nathan Ballingrud (weird sci-fantasy horror) | bingo: new, x of y, short

    Follows the fates of side characters from the first book, Crypt of the Moon Spider. Half a brain in a satellite travels the solar system, while on Earth, a gang leader faces encroachment from the Mafia.

    Ehhhh. There were parts of this I liked, but I generally found it a let-down after Moon Spider. It’s a much less focused story, and it loses the particular flavor of creepiness that made the first book so fun. Definitely check content warnings, as they’re quite different from the previous entry.
