I finished Death Masks by Jim Butcher, 5th book in the series. This is probably the best book in the series yet, pretty much no dull moment. And I have heard it just keeps getting better from here, so looking forward to that!

After that, looking for epic fantasy, started The Daevabad Trilogy by S. A. Chakraborty. Read the first book City of Brass and loved it. A different setting from the "medieval European" one we usually get, and thoroughly enjoyable book.

Before starting next book in the series, read Elly Griffith's The Janus Stone, 2nd book in Dr. Ruth Galloway mystery series. It was a quick but nice read, I'm going to continue with her books.

Just starting The Kingdom of Copper by S. A. Chakraborty, the next (2nd) book in The Daevabad Trilogy.

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

Daevabad trilogy is solid. A nice change on the usual sword and sorcery stuff.

Dresden series is also good on audio. James Marsters does a good job.

The Stars Now Unclaimed. The story is decent but the dialogue is pretty crappy. Seems like I’m always scrounging for sci fi with good characters that can carry concept and story.

I can't multi-task, so if I go for audio book, I will have to just sit there without doing anything to enjoy it, and if I am doing nothing just sitting there, might as well read the book 😀

Are you going to continue with the series? Or just going to stop after The Stars Now Unclaimed?
