Finished Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 2 of Rivers of London series. Our PC is getting better with the magic, and yet is still very new to this. We get a peek at the bigger magic world. Would be interesting to see how it develops further.

Reading Artemis by Andy Weir. Have read his other books and loved them, but this is supposedly different then his other work. Let's see.

Also, I think I should start working on Book Bingo, if I wait till the end of Bingo year, I would've forgotten half of what I have read. If any of you are working your Book Bingo, how far have you reached?

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

A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

Artemis was not as well received as his other works. I saw an interview with the author, and he explained how the main character was not very likable. Not a bad book overall, but not as good as some of his other works.

Yeah, knew about it not being well received, but didn't know it was because of unlikable main character. Let's see.

I didn't know either. However, in reality, there will always be people of all different backgrounds, personalities, etc. I dont always think that the main character always has to be likable but I can see how it affects someone's opinion of the book
