Still reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.

Yet another busy week but things have started to settle down, got back to reading properly yesterday and have reached the point where we get some interesting reveals. Very excited about where it goes from here.

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

Play Nice by Rachel Harrison. Finished last night, loved it. Haunted house story, great mental health/abusive family allegory. If you don't like female characters who are very flawed, or gen-z style writing, give this one a miss.

What's Gen-Z style writing?

I think kind of flippant and with current cultural references.

Maybe not a good descriptor. I saw another reviewer use it, so hoped it would convey the tone.

Heh. Flippant sounds about right.
