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?

I was about to grab that from the library the other day, but then I saw it was the listed as being in the middle of a series. Does it fare well on its own or should I start with something else?

Yes it fares well on its own none of the books in the "Hainish Cycle" are really in the same story they just share a vague universe with intersecting technology and multi-planet organzations but barely intersect so all can read on their own very easily.
