Started the next book in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, Cold Days

Since it's the 14th book in the series, I can't say much about it without spoiling what happened in the previous books, but things have become very interesting. Though, the more the things change, the more they stay the same, Harry is still out of his depth, and stakes are still sky high.

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

Just finished the Dresden Files (1-18). Latest installment comes out in January. Was kinda addicted there for a minute.

Just finished The Broken Ones by Stephen M. Irwin. Detective/Horror which I didn't think would work so well.

Now trying to start a horror anthology called Howls from the Dark Ages. Also, the new Thursday Murder Club book just came out.

Been going thru the Discworld series in published order, and now on A Hat Full of Sky. I think it's #30ish out of 40ish in the series? It's taken a number of years, but I'm also getting a bit sad that I'm nearing the end and there won't be any more. Pratchett was a treasure.

I really should go read these again, it's been so long that I hardly remember the stories in these books. I just read a synopsis of this book, and it hardly rings a bell. It must also have been at least 15 years ago, Terry Pratchett was still very much alive when I started reading them.

Robin Hobb's Assassin's Quest (Farseer trilogy 3/3). Devouring those on a holiday like I used to blaze through books as a kid!

Few people know how to torture a protagonist like Robin Hobb does.

Oh, also thinking of Cold Days gives me an excuse to post a cat pic. This was Sarissa, named such after the character you meet in Cold Days.

I’m up to the 7th of the 9 books in my Reread of the Fred the Vampire accountant series by Drew Hayes. I started November 1st after the final book was released. It’s as fun as I remember.
