Sorry missed last week's post, just busy with life.

The silver lining is, I don't have to stay "still reading" for yet another week, as I finally finished Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Yet another case involving magic in London and the Police solving it.

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

What are your thoughts on Project Hail Mary? My wife's sister recommended it so my wife started it but she wasn't vibing with it.

    I really enjoyed Project Hail Mary, but I can see how it's not for everyone. There's a lot of math and science talk which I enjoyed, but could feel textbooky for some. It's a fairly quick read so I'd recommend trying a few more chapters to see if it clicks, and moving on if not. Different strokes and whatnot!

    Ah fair, my SIL is an engineer so I'm not surprised by that. My wife and I are both in the biology fields so we aren't affraid of science talk. Maybe the math makes the audiobook harder to digest and a physical copy would be better to try.
