Read My Roommate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine.

It's a rom-com, which I don't generally read, so I can't judge if it was actually good or not. Personally, it felt too much like one of those K-Dramas, where a poor girl meets super rich guy, who is super handsome, and she keeps thinking about her all the time. Except this one has a Vampire. Not a big fan, but overall it was a fine time pass.

Audiobook: The Wandering Inn, book 13 by Pirateaba ... Kind of a standard "got sent to another world" litRPG, but it's quite fun with a well developed world and Andrea Parsneau brings life to every character

eBook: The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice by Margaret Killjoy (book 3 of Danielle Caine) ... Not far in yet, but the series has been weird and good so far. A punk, queer, perpetual hitchhiker got introduced to magic by seeing a dead deer stomp a man to death and eat his heart. If that doesn't make you interested, the series probably isn't for you.

I read more than half of the first book, but found the main characters pretty annoying. Both the Inn lady and the runner.

I can see that, honestly :-D

I don't know if this will change anything, but, there was apparently a re-release of book 1 where the author re-wrote parts of it to bring it into quality standards with the rest of the books ... not sure which one you read, but, maybe it would make a difference? I got interested in it after the re-record, so, I dunno how big the differences are.

With that said, these books are around the size of The Stand by Stephen King, each, so, if you read half of it, you definitely gave it a fair shot, lol
