Hello everyone! The weekly threads are back after a small hiatus.

I was reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series), picked it up again but bookmark had dropped somewhere and I couldn’t find where I was, so may start from some earlier place.

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

    I paused 1984 about 2/3 of the way through due to finding it too depressingly close to reality, but I’ll go back to it once I finish A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Bachman in a day or two.

    Read:

    The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie (mystery)

    Renowned detective Hercule Poirot investigates the death of a rich man in a small village.

    Since I’d heard this was one of Christie’s best, I decided to read it before I watched the adaptation (I’ve been slowly re/watching Poirot this year). Pretty par for the course til the reveal, which… well, I didn’t figure it out. I’d call it cheap, except they go through exactly which clues I missed, so I can’t actually be indignant about it.
