Still reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.

Yet another busy week but things have started to settle down, got back to reading properly yesterday and have reached the point where we get some interesting reveals. Very excited about where it goes from here.

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

Warlock by Oakley Hall. A Western novel about the town of Warlock and it's a very good example of revisionist western: where characters are shades of moral grey instead of classic old west good vs. Bad.

The writing though does a lot of effort to make dialogs appear old-timey (was written in 1958) and characters will often go around to beat some desert bush, making some conversations dreadful.

Regardless, a solid recommendation for anyone with a western itch.

Haven't really read many westerns, might be something to try.
