Still reading When Moon Hits the Eye by John Scalzi.

Had some vacation, so didn't get time to read much.

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

"The Kings of the Wyld" by Nicholas Eames. Only a few chapters in, but I love it.

The premise is: decades after a famous band of heroes has retired, one of them tries to get the band back together again to rescue his daughter. They're all old and grumpy, and it's just awesome. Very dry humor.

Very fun read! Reminded me of a combination Terry Pratchett and Joe Abercrombie in a way.
