Continuing Three Days to Never by Tim Powers, I was around first quarter mark before, but have crossed the half mark now. The books has gotten really interesting, will probably finish this week, if nothing comes up.

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

A reminder about our Book Bingo. Take look, if you haven't already.

I'm gonna post thoughts on Crazy Rich Asians in the new thread, but I enjoyed it well enough.

Re: The Butcher of the Forest: I wouldn't say the author's sadistic with their characters, no. From my (potentially desensitized) perspective, I'd say the horror is actually pretty mild, to be honest. The MC goes through a reasonable amount of trauma as she deals with the eldritch creatures (fae?) she encounters; my content warning... er... warning was mainly to do with a part of her past that she briefly recounts toward the end. It's only about 100 pages, so not a big investment if you try it and find it not to your taste.
