Had a busy week, so couldn't get much reading done. So still at pretty much the same place in Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series).

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

My brother has been encouraging me to read The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie for a long time, and I’ve started it a few times and always got distracted.

Something clicked this time though, and I’m totally absorbed.

It’s also the first fiction I’ve read in a while, and I forgot what an escape it can be. What a weird thing to forget.

I've been slowly getting into this series amongst other books, up to the third in the series now.

I love how dark and mature it is, some excellent characters in it.

It's better to do a thing than live with the fear if it.

Enjoy this journey, Joe Abercrombie is so good, I loved every book in this series.
