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?

    I’m reading The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz and listening to A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine.

    I’m enjoying both. This is the second book by Newitz that I’ve read and I find their writing very engaging. Desolation is the second in a space opera series that’s pretty standard space opera, but well written enough that I’m enjoying it.

      Someone mentioned Arkady Martine over at fantasy community too. How did you liked the first novel in the series, A Memory Called Empire?

      Newtiz's books look interesting, going to check them out.
