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?

No new post this week? I finally finished "the regicide report" by Charles Stross. Great book, and a good ending to the series. Last weekend I suddenly had a lot of time to read with the heat wave in Europe, so I read "BuyMort: Grand opening". The book was ok, but only started becoming a page turner towards the end. I'm now reading part two of the series "BuyMort: Smart shopper", and this is a lot more captivating to me. Started reading it monday, and am about 3/4 through. Also started reading the latest DCC book, "A Parade of Horribles" by Matt Dinniman. Read only a few chapters so far, still getting the hang of it.

Sorry I missed the post last week. Trying to be more regular, just lots going on. I should set up a recurring calendar event for this.

The Regicide Report is last book in the series? The series has been on my to-read list but hadn't gotten around to it, but if it's finished, now's the perfect time.

Yes, according to Stross it is the final one. I've read the whole series except the "tales from new management" which are in the same universe but not in the Laundry files. They're all great, obviously some better than others as is always the case.

True. Thanks for the info.
