Read White Night by Jim Butcher. Book 9 of Dresden Files. The start felt weaker than previous books, but it picked up after a little while, and ended up pretty good overall. In general, every new Dresden Files book feels better than the last one, but with this one, I would say while it's good, it isn't better than previous one (Proven Guilty).

Also started reading Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. These are short stories in the same world. I have read all the ones until White Night (the book I just read). Will keep this book in 'Currently Reading' pile and read the next stories after reading the respective novels.

Read The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. The story was weird, specially the ending. Couldn't decide what to make of it. So will just leave it at that.

Currently reading Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 2 of Rivers of London series. Urban fantasy featuring a "magic cop" in London. I loved the first book, and have only just started this one. Have hardly read 5 pages yet.

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

I'm procrastinating reading the last book in the murderbot diaries because I don't want the series to end. Read all the others in the past month or so since most are short novellas.

I can understand the feeling. Though I think she is working on more Murderbot diaries books, so you shouldn't have to wait too long for the next one.

That would be great. I find the biggest barrier to reading more often is having to pick out a new book / series. Once I find something I like I find myself reading all the time.

I'm currently listening to the Network Effect audiobook. I like that it's a full novel. More time to spread out and have a more complex plot.
