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?

    Having recently finished book 10, yeah, it’s sort of difficult. It’s kind of the culmination of Jordan’s navel gazing where the whole book has maybe two chapters that move the plot along, and not a lot at that. Practically nothing happens, and the progress could’ve been just quickly summarized in the next book. Note that I did like the book, and I’m not saying it’s bad or anything, just sort of emblematic of what I find most annoying about Jordan’s writing. Luckily, the next book picks up the pace considerably and develops a sense of urgency.
