Still reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire. First book in her October Daye urban fantasy series.

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

I'm currently struggling to get into City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett. I really enjoyed the first two books in his Leviathan series, so I'm hoping this gets better. Right now I just haven't connected with the characters or the world.

City of Stairs is the only Robert Jackson Bennett I've read, and it put me off reading more of him. (I had kind of the same experience as you're having. Like, it was fine, but not for me.) If his other stuff is better, I'll have to give him another shot.
