Reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.

Another super busy week, so pretty much still at the same place as last week.

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

I just did a relisten to the murderbot diaries recently. It's funny, I know murderbot is explicitly not gendered, but I always pictured a female murderbot because I thought the front cover depicted a robot shaped coif that looked like a 50s typically female style. After they cast a male person for the TV show I was surprised and loked again, and I guess it's just robot neck armor, not robot hair, lol.

I'm going to stick with my head cannon on this one though. Disillusioned asexual 50s housewife protector and professional ass kicker.

My headcanon Murderbot also leans toward the feminine, so you're not alone. It would've been cool if the show had cast someone super androgynous (although I'm not surprised they didn't).
