Read Turn Coat, book 11 of the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.
Another bad people/creatures/whatever doing bad stuff with magic, while Dresden stops them, while getting completely beat up book. I don’t mean that as a bad thing though. That’s why I read the books!
This had some interesting world-building stuff, with some new stuff in over-arching story. Also read the short story that takes place after the book (in the anthology Side Jobs), an interesting look at the relationship between Harry and Murphy.
Currently reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson. Book 2 of second era of Mistborn. Just started it, so don’t have much to say about it yet.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I’m interested in those Dresden books. I’ve read all of Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series, and the premise sounds similar, albeit with an American setting rather than a British one. I did a quick search and saw a description which mentioned ‘hard boiled’ detective fiction - I’m not a fan of Raymond Chandler-style prose, so I wonder if that’s a feature of the Dresden series.
As for me, I just finished Bleak House by Charles Dickens. I’m reading all of his novels chronologically, but for a bit light relief I’m now reading Hamlet by Wm. Shakespeare.
