Finally got some reading time and finished Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series)!

It's a very quick book, which is kind of ironic for me to say, since I took months to finish it, but finished the last third or so of the book in a single sitting.

There were certain things in the start that I didn't like, but was enjoying the book by the time I finished it. Would love to read more in the series.

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

I finally got "This is how you lose the time war" out from the library. I dont think ive been this excited for a book in ages. Im 50 pages in and enjoying it so far,

spoilereven if red's letters are a bit cheesy.
The book is very well written I really appreciate that the author can paint a good picture of the scene without droning on(I hate tolkien for this)

Hey reading buddy! I just started reading this last night, unexpectedly devoured the first 25 pages, didn't know what to expect but have been pleasantly delighted and excited to know where it's going. I think this might be my first epistolary novel.

I just finished it, I was about 50 pages in reading before bed and I couldn't put it down. My reading light ran out and I read the last half by uncomfortably resting on my arm while holding my phone. Without spoiling anything all I can say is that was a beautifully written book.
