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?

Just started the nemesis series. Reading Dreadnought by April Daniels atm. I LOVE it! 2 days in, I'm 50% of the way through.

"Schronisko które przestało istnieć" by Sławek Gortych - just began. and "Za Cenę Śmierci" by Małgorzata Rogala - 2nd volume of series I've began to love. Both crime/thriller books.

Just finished The midwife of Auschwitz, by Anna Stuart. Very good, very emotional, just loved this book.

For now, I search for something lighter for the vacation (and not too complex to follow because during vacations, I'm frequently interrupted in the reading). I don't see something in my to read pile, so I'll look in this post or older. But if someone have an advice...

What about some litRPG? They are generally not too deep and great to pass time.

@dresden
Chapter 4 of 'The Jane Austen Remedy' by Ruth Wilson. Inspiring book, adding titles to my TBR list.

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.
