Finished Artemis by Andy Weir. It was a fun book, but a step below both The Martian and Project Hail Mary. Can't point out why, though I don't think it's because protagonist is unlikable. Still, not a bad book, and an enjoyable read.
I did get some Skyward's Spensa-like feel from protagonist. Maybe cause both of them were outcast, and has the attitude of being annoyed by the whole world.
Currently Reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. I am some 50 or so pages in, and I am not enjoying it much.
Slight spoiler about the setting so skip rest of the paragraph if you want to avoid it. The first book jumped some 100 years in the future after about 1/3rd of the book, and the future is now the "current" time. Book 2 started with a slight prologue of 4-5 pages, and then it jumped back to Year zero. Don't really care about Year Zero now, specially any new characters. Want to know what's happening in the "now". Maybe they will have some important part to play, I don't know, but right now I am not feeling much interested in the story.
Going to read at least 100 pages and then decide if I want to continue or not.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm re-reading them, liked them all, i find them immersive.
The TV show was ok i guess, i found it odd that they deviated quite a bit on some aspects even with the author as producer.
Apparently authors generally don't have too much power when it comes to TV shows, unless they get it specially written in the contract, which rarely happens.
