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

Didn't really get much to read this week, so at same place as last week.

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

I finished Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky, read book 1 of The Brothers Karamazov, and am almost done with The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey.

    What do you think about 5th Wave? You reminded me that I have a copy on the bottom of a stack, still unread. I'm currently about halfway into Red Sparrow (I like it so far; the author seems to know his stuff), and I'll finish that first, but I could re-sort my piles to make it more visible if given a reason to.

    Its funny. I was excited about Metro 2033 and skeptical of 5th wave, and I was disappointed by metro 2033 and surprised by 5th wave.

    I really liked the story in 5th wave. It's got a little teenage angst/romance in it, but it's not too awful.

    What I'm worried about in the second book is what looks like a setup of a full on love triangle. I hope I'm wring about that (about to find out!)
