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

Another super busy week, so pretty much still at the same place as last week.

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

Priory of the Orange Tree

The first paragraph hits hard, the first chapter hits again, and it just keeps going. It's an epic fantasy like LOTR but with the fluff stripped away. Every single printed word of this book feels important and necessary to tell the story, and all the fantasy intrigue beats are there, but fresh with a unique setting and zero unnatural exposition.
