Life is still pretty busy, not getting much time for Lemmy, but at least got some time to read now.
Still reading Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore. Book 2 of the series. Am more than halfway through now, if nothing comes up, should be able to finish it this week.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Not as much reading last week as the week before; finished “Record of a spaceborn few” by Becky Chambers. The book is good enough, but I like books to be more plot oriented, this series is more about people finding out how they fit in their worlds. So next book, “Dead space” by Kali Wallace. Nice and simple book, very plot driven and no need to over think it as a reader. It fit right in with my mood over the weekend, and I went through it in a breeze. I tought it was part of a series, so I started looking for the rest only to find out it is a stand alone book. I also had John Scalzi’s “The consuming fire” on my e-reader and I’m almost half way through at the moment. My experience with John Scalzi is rather typical, I read “the collapsing empire” awhile ago and found it hard to get through, but this next installment in the series is hard to lay down. I had the same with the old man’s war series, where I would alternate between meh (books 3 and 5) and great (1, 2, 6 and especially 4).
I wonder if Dead Space was inspired by the game of the same name. The setting seems very similar, but doesn’t mention any character from the game and ship name is different.
Reading the Wikipedia page of the game, it seems to be quite different.
