Big thanks to @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe for all the work they do to arrange these!

As for books, reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Didn't get much time, but slowly making progress.

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

I'm reading Warren Ellis's Transmetropolitan. An old favorite of mine, this comic book, heavily inspired by Hunter S. Thompson, has many themes that are all too relevant even today.

Man, I have it, read the first chapter, but it failed to grab me :/ will retry though, it’s a trip!

I mean, I love the series, but its brand of chaos, insanity, humor and obscenity is definitely not for everyone. If you can accept it and go with its flow, there's some really good bits in there.
