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

Didn't really get much to read this week, so at same place as last week.

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

I didn't get much reading done this week either; still reading My Name is Nobody by Matthew Richardson.

Read DuMort by Michelle Tang (gaslamp horror, novella) | bingo: minority author, short, new, steppin' up

In a city where even speaking the names of the dead is a punishable blasphemy, an upper-class woman seeks out an occultist to help rid her of an angry ghost.

I wanted something compelling to get me back into my reading groove, and this helped, I think? It definitely had some cool ideas and the world-building was strong for the length, but it was also a little too yearn-y for my taste, and I would have liked more description of what went down at the end. Enjoyable, though.

That sounds interesting. Will take a look.
