Life is still pretty busy, not getting much time for Lemmy, but at least got some time to read now.

Still reading Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore. Book 2 of the series. Am more than halfway through now, if nothing comes up, should be able to finish it this week.

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

Currently in the middle of The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen. I've watched a lot of Scandinoir, but this my first time reading it! Too many flashbacks for my taste, but otherwise it's engaging, and I'm looking forward to finding out if my theories are correct.

Also still reading No One Will Come Back for Us by Premee Mohamed. All the stories so far feel like the equivalent of art sketches, but I'm ok with that.

Read River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey. Fun little novella that's essentially a western, but with hippos instead of horses, set in the South. I saw some reviews that felt it wasn't long enough or developed enough, but I thought it was fine. I enjoy plot-focused stuff, though, so YMMV.
