I almost forgot the weekly thread again, so just putting it up, will post my updates later.

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

I also didn't care for The Hollow Places, and have avoided her horror novels ever since. I did pick up What Moves the Dead recently, though, and found it enjoyable. Maybe it's just that one book? Maybe she's better at gothic than straight horror? I don't know.

I do generally like T. Kingfisher's fairy tale-inspired titles, as well; the ones I've read do tend to have the same kind of spunky protagonist as The Hollow Places, but that kind of MC doesn't bother me in a fantasy setting. YMMV, ofc.
