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?

Son of A Liche by J Zachary Pike. It's the second book in the Dark Profit Saga. A friend of mine had recommended I read the first book (Orconomics) for years, and I finally got around to it. I'm enjoying the series so far, but I thought it was a standalone novel and was looking for a fun one-off read, so I probably wouldn't have started it if I knew it was a series. The series satirizes fantasy tropes in the context of an excessively capitalist society built around a "hero-for-hire" industry. It's got very tongue in cheek humor, and I think if you enjoy a lot of the more recent DnD media (Vox Machina and the like), you'd appreciate it.
