Sorry missed last week's post, just busy with life.

The silver lining is, I don't have to stay "still reading" for yet another week, as I finally finished Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Yet another case involving magic in London and the Police solving it.

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

Started the second Mistborn book by Sanderson. The first one was good and the second is still holding my interest. I think the plot and lore he's created is top notch but his prose and overall writing style is rather meh. I'm about to start taking a shot of Bourbon for everytime a character rolls their eyes or signs in conversation.

    I am not someone who is a good judge of what is good or bad writing, but this is one of his earliest work and it's said that his later books improve a lot. Though he is generally loved for his world-building and stories, rather than beauty of his prose.
