Read Turn Coat, book 11 of the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.
Another bad people/creatures/whatever doing bad stuff with magic, while Dresden stops them, while getting completely beat up book. I don’t mean that as a bad thing though. That’s why I read the books!
This had some interesting world-building stuff, with some new stuff in over-arching story. Also read the short story that takes place after the book (in the anthology Side Jobs), an interesting look at the relationship between Harry and Murphy.
Currently reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn. Just started it, so don’t have much to say about it yet.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Nearing the end of Blood Meridian, it’s so matter of fact in its telling of brutality and how nonchalant most of the characters are with death and destruction that it’s still shocking near the end. The descriptions of the geography are excellent, and I knew enough Spanish to get through the couple places it’s used, but I had to look up a bunch of the plants and animals I didn’t recognize. Once I’m done with that I’m going back to Memories of a Lyrical Man I’m about 1/3 in and looking forward to getting back into it, sci-fi character drama time traveling adventure.
