Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Nothing much to talk about it yet.

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

Barely read this week, but I started My Name Is Nobody by Matthew Richardson.

__

Finished A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher (YA/middle grade fantasy, somewhat cozy) | bingo: indie HM, award HM, steppin' up HM, cozy

When a teenage baker with magical influence over dough finds a dead body in her bakery, she is pulled into sinister plots that threaten the whole city.

This was cute. My only complaint is that all the palace stuff was very thin; having the answer to "how was this allowed to happen?" boil down to "whoops, our bad" was kinda disappointing.

Now I want a book like that but with more focus on the running of magical bakery ๐Ÿ˜€ Kinda like inn parts of the Wandering Inn.
