Read White Night by Jim Butcher. Book 9 of Dresden Files. The start felt weaker than previous books, but it picked up after a little while, and ended up pretty good overall. In general, every new Dresden Files book feels better than the last one, but with this one, I would say while it's good, it isn't better than previous one (Proven Guilty).

Also started reading Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. These are short stories in the same world. I have read all the ones until White Night (the book I just read). Will keep this book in 'Currently Reading' pile and read the next stories after reading the respective novels.

Read The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. The story was weird, specially the ending. Couldn't decide what to make of it. So will just leave it at that.

Currently reading Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 2 of Rivers of London series. Urban fantasy featuring a "magic cop" in London. I loved the first book, and have only just started this one. Have hardly read 5 pages yet.

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

I've done another couple of the deathlands books since finishing solo levelling at the end of last week and still enjoying it a lot.

Just started Yumi and the Nightmare Painter and I'm struggling a bit to get into it. I know I'll probably like the story as I love Sanderson but the readers of this are pretty dire, the woman in particular who is reading the Yumi point of view makes me want to stop listening each time. A good reader can really make or break an audiobook and I think I've been spoilt for a long while in not coming across someone this drab and dull.
