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’m reading Good For A Girl by Lauren Fleshman and Born to Run by Christopher McDougall
An Utterly Impartial History of Britain by John O’Farrell. I wanted to read a non-fiction but has that sort of personal touch. I was in a charity book store, read a page and got it. Bloody funny and great read

I love metamorphosis. Dresden Files are fun. I found Side Jobs interesting. Haven’t read moon over soho but it looks interesting
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.
The Metamorphosis made me think of people dealing with chronic illnesses in real life and how they must feel, which made me sad.

I laughed out loud when he gave the eloquent but long winded speech to his boss about how he would make everything right, and when he finishes his mother just screams
