Still reading the third book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tripwire. More than half-way through, closer to 2/3rd actually.

Not much to say about it. It's bad guy being a bad guy and Reacher being Reacher. Some interesting side characters, would love to see if it means any character development or not.

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

I'm currently just finishing Ruinstorm, book 46 of the Horus Heresy series of Warhammer 40k lore.

It's been a good series on the whole, but it's marred by a few absolute slogs of books, and generally trends worse as the series drags on.

I'm pretty ready for it to be over, but there have been some standout good books in the last few!
