Back to reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Only read couple of pages, but things are setting down so should be getting back to reading more.

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

      What’d you think of Strife compared to the other 3? I liked 1 and 2 quite a bit but 3 felt like a wrong direction to take for me

        On the one hand, it covers a broader stretch of time—from slightly before to slightly after the rest of the series—but on the other hand it’s more human-centric, with less exploration of new non-human intelligences (although there’s still some). And like book 3, it focuses more on a single planet (but also more of Earth than we’ve seen in the rest of the series).

        I’d put in on par with 3, but I liked 3 more than a lot of other readers did.
