Still reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.

Had a busy week so couldn't get much reading done, about halfway through though.

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

I finished Provenance by Ann Leckie. I read her Imperial Radch trilogy years ago and really enjoyed it. This was set in the same world so I expected to like it but it just fell kind of flat to me. The exploration of personhood and gender norms wasn't really there and the political intrigue felt shallow.

Now I'm on A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett, the sequel to The Tainted Cup. It is just as gripping as the first book and I'm absolutely loving it. I really need to read more from this author.
