Finished Tripwire by Lee Child, third book in the Jack Reacher series.

Ending was expected, but I guess if you have such a long running series, pretty much ending will always be expected. Bad guy meets Reacher, bad guy loses, Reacher wins. Fun to read though, which is the main point. Going to keep reading them.

Don't think it ticked any of the Bingo boxes though.

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

Very ADHD reader here, but reading:

When the Moon Hatched - Sarah A Parker - High fantasy where magical people have to register and be used by the government similar to FF16, except the Moon is a dragon egg (like FF14)... Actually wondering if Sarah A Parker is a Final Fantasy Fan....

He Who Fights With Monsters 12 - Shirtaloon (Travis Deverall) - My favorite LitRRPg series. Jason Asano is now basically a god, yet manages to stay grounded the best he can. He's having to deal with the fact that people treat him differently now because of his power level, and learning diplomacy and all that.

How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin Days - Megan O'Russell - This is a fun YA urban fantasy. I actually bought a few books from the author herself at Thy Geekdom Con in Philadelphia a few months back.

And my fall asleep Audiobook of the Moment: The Echo of Old Books - Barbara Davis - I mainly only read fantasy and sci-fi and this could barely be called fantasy. It's mainly a historical romance told from the perspective of someone who happens to have a little bit of magic.. its almost like the modern day story is irrelevant... anyway I picked it up as a Kindle first read and the audiobook was in turn $2 so I've got my money's worth.

When the Moon Hatched sounds fun. Would love to hear your review when you have finished it.

Well, only on chapter 22/89 and the moon has not yet hatched. I do love how snarky the main character is and there was some trauma that drives the story forward and makes you want someone to die really bad who may be the main villain possibly.

(Finished HWFWM12 and HIMMUMLI4FD) so... narrowing it down but i also started Judicator Jane 5...
