Nothing at my end. Life has been kinda busy lately.

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

    I’ve barely been reading, so that + being on the section of 1984 that’s (mostly) unnecessary info dump means I’m still 2/3 of the way through it.

    I did finish

    A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (contemporary) | bingo: continent HM, adaptation, steppin’ up HM, cozy, jerk

    A cantankerous old man’s plans are interrupted by new neighbors.

    Not my normal fare, but this was a cute, poignant story about found family and starting a new chapter. I knew nothing about it going in, so I was surprised about Ove’s intentions in the first half. A little repetitive in places IMO, but otherwise pretty solid.
