Back to reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Only read couple of pages, but things are setting down so should be getting back to reading more.

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

So been offline for a while (looks like 4 months since I logged in.) I finished the series and was left fulfilled, but also really pissed off LOL! Do I regret the journey? No, I don't think so. To the contrary I'm actually thinking about picking up the next book in the universe which I believe is a compendium of short stories that take place during and after the main series. It took me a little time to come to terms with the fact that it was always going to end the way it did, and that it wasn't so much about what happened, but how and why. It was a confessional, not an adventure. Once I got there, my opinion about the entire series has softened. It really made me mad at times but overall it was worth it.

Hey, thanks for following up! ☺️ In that time I read book four, which I enjoyed but still feel the moroseness is too much for me to do the whole series in one go.
