Finally got some reading time and finished Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series)!

It's a very quick book, which is kind of ironic for me to say, since I took months to finish it, but finished the last third or so of the book in a single sitting.

There were certain things in the start that I didn't like, but was enjoying the book by the time I finished it. Would love to read more in the series.

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

Mad Eden by Morgan Thomas, and I started the his dark materials books to read with my nephews.

Mad Eden is a difficult read. I don't really like the main characters. The book is good still. I wouldn't tell others not to read it.

His dark materials is great. Pullman does an awesome job of showing how confusing it is for young people to understand the complexities of navigating and growing into the adult world. Very anti religion too, which was part of why I got it for them.
