Had a busy week, so couldn't get much reading done. So still at pretty much the same place in Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series).

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

stick with the series. it's great. I think I was on book 4 or 5, right around where the novels start to surpass the tv series, when a buddy said, "oh, you're just about to the part where they start getting good!"

and boy was he right.

Hopefully they are good before that point and increase in quality? I went in totally blind; haven't watched the show or read anything about them prior. My free time is pretty limited, so I am picky in selecting what I spend my time on.
