Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Nothing much to talk about it yet.

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

At Home: A short history of home life by Bill Bryson. A history of houses, and just history relating to houses.

Most back cover reviews exaggerate, but it really has made me laugh out loud, at least most chapters.

Even better, it gives me a constant stream of interesting facts to throw at my partner. Did you know they had locks on doors and underfloor heating back in the neolithic?
