A day late, but better late than never!

Finished Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher. Book 8 of Dresden Files. Loving how the series is progressing. How the characters are growing, and how the stakes keep getting higher and higher.

Currently Reading Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson. Book 3 of Cytoverse / Skyward series. It continues from after Book 2, and we haven't come across the events of the novellas yet. I am interested to see how they will cover those.

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

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

Just picked up "Eruption" - the final Michael Crichton novel. His wife found the unfinished manuscript in his papers, sent it to James Patterson who really enjoyed it and agreed to finish it.

It's... well... it's not very good. Stock characters, disaster premise (monster Hawaiian volcano!), etc. etc. But it moves VERY fast. 419 pages and 109 chapters. On average under 4 pages a chapter.
