Had a busy week, so couldn't get much reading done. So still at pretty much the same place in Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series).

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

Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey, the first book in The Expanse series. I'm roughly half way in, and it's enjoyable so far.

    stick with the series. it's great. I think I was on book 4 or 5, right around where the novels start to surpass the tv series, when a buddy said, "oh, you're just about to the part where they start getting good!"

    and boy was he right.

    Hopefully they are good before that point and increase in quality? I went in totally blind; haven't watched the show or read anything about them prior. My free time is pretty limited, so I am picky in selecting what I spend my time on.

    I’m so jealous you get to read that for the first time. It’s the only series I wish I could forget and read again.

    I have to be honest, it almost lost me for a little when it started focusing on the broader politics of the solar systme, but things picked right back up and are very well interesting again. I'm going to be sticking with it!

    I loved this series so much it got me back into reading as an adult.

    I watches the TV series in full first before I got into the books and really enjoyed the comparison

    I'm looking forward to checking out his new series soon.
