Still reading When Moon Hits the Eye by John Scalzi.

Had some vacation, so didn't get time to read much.

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

"Cibola Burn" by James S.A. Corey, so The Expanse #4. I like the TV series a lot (watched first, before reading the books), I really liked "Leviathan Wakes" and "The Butcher of Anderson Station", but the second and third volumes were meh. The second one is too similar to the first one and the third one, I don't know, just didn't click. "Cibola Burn" is good, finally the themes have changed, the setting has changed (Ilus) and there are new mysteries to uncover (well, I watched the TV series, so the story is kinda spoiled for me, but it's not like I remember everything).

Loved every one of the Expanse books, but could not get into the new series by the same authors. I’m hoping that they do a third series of something that maybe I’ll like.

It’s also stupid that Amazon or someone else hasn’t gotten the gang back together to film the final two books. I guess they’re too busy spending all their money on Wheel Of Time and Lord Of The Rings.
