Finally got some reading time and finished Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series)!

It's a very quick book, which is kind of ironic for me to say, since I took months to finish it, but finished the last third or so of the book in a single sitting.

There were certain things in the start that I didn't like, but was enjoying the book by the time I finished it. Would love to read more in the series.

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

Just finished reading Bloom by Delilah S Dawson for the podcast which is a sapphic horror. My teen offspring tells me its called 'cottagecore' whatever the fuck that means. I'll reserve verdict until we record the episode!

Currently dipping in and out for The Real and the Unreal , which is Ursula K LeGuin's short story collection. Brilliant as you would expect. Just about to start King Sorrow by Joe Hill. Got mixed opinions on his previous stuff so we'll see how this one pans out.
