Finished Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 2 of Rivers of London series. Our PC is getting better with the magic, and yet is still very new to this. We get a peek at the bigger magic world. Would be interesting to see how it develops further.

Reading Artemis by Andy Weir. Have read his other books and loved them, but this is supposedly different then his other work. Let's see.

Also, I think I should start working on Book Bingo, if I wait till the end of Bingo year, I would've forgotten half of what I have read. If any of you are working your Book Bingo, how far have you reached?

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

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

After finishing Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 by Hunter S. Thompson I opportunistically picked up Rutger Bregman's Humankind: A Hopeful History. It's pretty good, though I find some of his conclusions suspect, in part because I'm inclined to hope they are true. Underneath all this internet grime I am, after all, an optimist with high hopes for humanity. I have to be careful with that pesky confirmation bias.

I also picked up some comic books from the library to have some variety.
