Finished Mortedant's Peril by R.J. Barker and enjoyed it. A super easy read, fun little mystery, and an interesting world to explore. It seems like it's the first of a series, so I'll be keeping an eye out for the next one.

Finished Behemoth by Scott Westerfield. Fun little series, just an easy summer read.

Finished A Trade of Blood by Robert Jackson Bennett, and this is fantastic. My favourite book of the year so far. Honestly the Ana and Din Mysteries are exceptional.

Always my first thought when I see this question

100% this! I can smell that nastiness on other people's cups, glasses, and plates too. Especially if they cook a lot with egg.

A Drop of Corruption, and Shroud are fantastic. Shining examples of compelling stories, interesting characters, and great examples of how we are living in a golden age of great authors writing great books.

On the flip side, The Raven Scholar was so bad it made me angry that I kept going till almost half way through before throwing it down in disgust.

The Everlasting had potential, but didn't stick the landing. That said, I couldn't put it down.

I'm going to give the others a read now.

25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. The rest of their catalog is utter garbage, but 25 or 6 to 4 is an absolute banger
