Read Turn Coat, book 11 of the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.
Another bad people/creatures/whatever doing bad stuff with magic, while Dresden stops them, while getting completely beat up book. I don't mean that as a bad thing though. That's why I read the books!
This had some interesting world-building stuff, with some new stuff in over-arching story. Also read the short story that takes place after the book (in the anthology Side Jobs), an interesting look at the relationship between Harry and Murphy.
Currently reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn. Just started it, so don't have much to say about it yet.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Dresden is a bit like a roller coaster where the 1st 3 books are the hill you ratchet up, about midway of book 3 is where you start to crest the 1st hill and see what's coming up. And while there's some good twists and turns and thrills up to Turn Coat, it's pretty tame with some surprising drops and twists.
Turn Coat is kind of the crest of the roller coaster before the bottom drops out headed into the underground tunnel you didn't know was coming, it really starts to accelerate and spin out quickly after this.
