I am reading The House at Sea’s End by Elly Griffiths. A Ruth Galloway mystery. It was supposed to be a quick read, but got busy with some stuff, so going slowly.

What about all of you? What are you reading, or listening these days?

Note: So, I posted this last week, but for some issue with federation it didn't actually sync. So, this will be another one and half week post.

I finished Look to Windward by Iain Banks, I enjoyed it and it's ending particularly. Also read Tiffany Aching's Guide to Being A Witch, which I also enjoyed. Very interested if Rhianna wants to make a go of more new stuff for Discworld.

Really looking forward to starting The End and the Death: Volume II by Abnet. I cannot believe I have been reading HH for this long and it is finally finishing, if you ignore the inevitable books that will still get shoehorned in later, like I will.

That's good to hear about the Look to Windward. Your last post made it sound very bleak. I think your posts have convinced me to give The Culture another try.

Wow, didn't know anyone was continuing Discworld, should check it out.

Well remembered! Yeah it gets a lot less bleak as Banks focuses more on other characters as the book progresses who do not have such a tragic back story. Player of Games is still my favorite of the series so far, I just love it when people go super saiyan after being pushed too far. If they could translate the game properly into something that would work on film it would make an amazing film.
