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 started reading Witch Beast by Bernard King, it's a fairly okay supernatural horror, I'm not entirely certain what to make of it yet, I'm in the mystery building section so far. But, folks, I really wanna highlight that a vast amount of this books fiction is dedicated to minutiae of urban development in England in the late 80s, to an absurd degree for a supernatural fantasy horror, it comes out of nowhere and just as suddenly disappears into the background
