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?

If you want WW2 spy thrills, skip 'The Eagle Has Landed' and read 'Night Soldiers' by Alan Furst.

After a Fascist mob kills his younger brother, a young Bulgarian fisherman is recruited by the KGB. He is trained and sent to Spain to fight in the Civil War.

Great atmosphere, chilling intrigue, wild battles.
