Had a busy week, so couldn't get much reading done. So still at pretty much the same place in Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series).

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

Just finished "Death of the Author" by Nnedi Okorafor and enjoyed it immensely; I've been recommending it to everyone. It's a good blend of Afro-futurism, literary fiction, and sci-fi.

Now on "Helm" by Sarah Hall, and while I'm only partially through it, the writing is absolutely stellar.

For lighter fare, I particularly enjoyed "The Tainted Cup" and Drop of Corruption" by Robert Jackson Bennett.
