Started the next book in Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series, Cold Days

Since it’s the 14th book in the series, I can’t say much about it without spoiling what happened in the previous books, but things have become very interesting. Though, the more the things change, the more they stay the same, Harry is still out of his depth, and stakes are still sky high.

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

    I’m most of the way through Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. This book has gone in directions I was not expecting, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Should finish it in the next couple of days and it’s definitely getting my recommendation.

      Dark Matter was the first book I read by Blake Crouch. I loved that book and I love pretty much every book of his I’ve read. He is one author that I will buy a new release, or older one I haven’t read, without even looking at the back cover. I love his high intensity and quick paced writing.

      I’m so happy you are enjoying it! I wish I could read it over for the first time again!

        The pacing is excellent! You think you’ve finally reached a calm point and then you get gut-punched with a completely unexpected event. It’s been a while since I’ve found a book so hard to put down too. I keep saying I’ll read 1 more page and before I know it I’ve read 10.

        Definitely going to check out his other stuff. I’ve actually got a copy of Recursion downloaded to my ereader already.

        I got this recently and will be his first book I’ll read, it seems like it will be a good choice.
