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

Just started it, not much to say about it yet.

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

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse. Fantasy with a Native American mythos. It started great, then became a soap opera.

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. (Ebook) I keep trying to find books in the Fantasy genre that I enjoy reading. hopefully this will be the one that gets me there.

Polostan by Neal Stephenson. Bought this one blind because I like every one of the author's books that I've read. They're usually filled with math and or philosophy and he does a great job of explaining things in the context of the book, so I'm excited to get into this one and feel dumb for a while until I pick up whatever he's putting down.

I just finished (today) both Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and The Man Who Died Seven Times by Yasuhiko Nishizawa.

Recently started reading The Lives of Others by Neel Mukherjee. Trying to read authors from all around the world and this is my India book. Wild family saga that gets into history, traditional vs modern culture and religion, class politics. Really enjoying it so far.

Also listening to the audiobook of The Scar by China Miéville.

"The Blade Itself" by Joe Abercrombie. It may have been a little overhyped, but I'm enjoying it so far.
