Finished The Passage by Justin Cronin. First book in The Passage trilogy. Overall, liked the book. The start was slow, giving me Stephen King vibes, but it picked up the pace as it went along. It was too long though, and can't get myself to start next one right away.

Read couple of son's books to change pace. The Ghoul in the School by Marcus Rashford and Alex Falase-Koya, the second book in The Breakfast Club Adventures. And Unexpected Super Spy by Zanib Mian, second book in Planet Omar series.

Also read, and just finished 5 mins before this post, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson, book 3 of his secret projects, and part of Cosmere, but a standalone book, which can be read without any knowledge of his other work. I loved this book. Like most of his "secret projects" books, couldn't put it down once I picked it up.

Currently Reading... nothing. Just finished the previous book and haven't decided what to start next... leaning towards next Dresden Files novel though... let's see.

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

I'm about done with Winter, the last book in the primary Lunar Chronicles quartet. It's been a really great read thus far, like the rest of the series. I'm excited to see just how the big bad gets their comeuppance, as well as what becomes of the cast of characters. Then I'll be on to the two addendum books to the series - the first is a series of short stories, but I didn't know how they relate yet. The second is a novela about the backstory of said big bad, which should be intriguing.
