Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Didn’t really get much to read this week, so at same place as last week.

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

    I finished, I Who Have Never Known Men, Jacqueline Harpman, last night. What a very surreal experience that I’m struggling to articulate. It left me very contemplative. It was clearly well written, but I’m not sure whether I enjoyed it. Intentionally too many unanswered questions.

    A week or so back I knocked out The Gate of the Feral Gods, Matt Dinniman, which was, as usual, a good romp. I’m interested to see if this LitRPG gets boring at some point.

      I’m two books ahead of you and it hasn’t gotten boring yet. As the series goes on I think it has more frequent moments where it slows the action down to put pieces in place, but Dinniman never stops escalating the situation.

        Good to know - every time I think he’s jumped the shark, there’s a bigger shark! Have you read any other LitRPGs, and if so, how does this compare?
