Finished Chloe Marr by A. A. Milne. I liked the book, but it's very much product of it's time, the way men and women act. Also, if you can get the literary and pop-culture (of that time) references, you'll enjoy it a lot more. As it is, even though I enjoyed reading it, when I wasn't reading it, I didn't feel too much like picking it up.

Read Jujitsu Kaisen Vol. 3. Continuing my 1 volume per month for JJK. Same as The Dresden Files. Don't want to finish all the published work and wait for new ones. So, once a month will keep me supplied for quite a while.

Read Meet the Maliks - Twin Detectives: The Cookie Culprit by Zanib Mian. Got it for my kid, felt a little bit like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but more about muslim family and kids. Read it to see how it is, and I enjoyed it. It's first in the series though, the author has also written Planet Omar series, may try those for kid next.

Starting Death Masks by Jim Butcher.

What about all of you? What have all of you been reading and listening?

    That's nice to know about Incryptid, it's on my wishlist, but I think I would read Rivers of London series first, I have already got the first two books, will start after reading some smaller series first.

    I have also gotten pretty interested in Alex Verus, specially because it's an actually finished series, but unfortunately couldn't find the starting books at my local bookstore, so would have to order them. Will get to it once I have reduced my backlog a bit.

    Something is Killing the Children, and The Nice on the Lake both sound great, I'll see if they have any omnibus editions coming out.

    I had only read upto Death Masks before, though I don't really remember anything that happened in this book. Excited to see how the books develop.

      The Nice House on the Lake has a hard cover collected release of all 12 issues coming out next month, not sure about the other one.

      Check out "the podcast was on fire and it wasn't my fault," it's a guy who has read the Dresden Files a load of times and his sister who is new to the series, they go through a handful of chapters a week. I think they're in Dead Beat now so you could catch up easily enough if you wanted to. I stopped listening a few books ago but you might enjoy it more than I did.
