I just finished Death Masks by Jim Butcher, 5th book of The Dresden Files. Really enjoying the series.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening?

After getting it recommended on Lemmy, I had been reading A Memory Called Empire and absolutely loved it. It feels small and huge at the same time (giant empire, but 95% takes place in a single city), spanning long times and only a week (a lot of history talk and simply feels long, but only a week passes), poetic and yet approachable (the Empire has a huge focus on poetry, and while poems are there, it’s not as annoying as in e.g. LOTR).
A nice bonus is that the two main countries (Teixcalaan, the Empire, kinda Aztec-based names) and Lsel station (Old Aramaic based names, according to the author, I’ll have to talk her word for that) are both not modeled after the usual suspects.
Highly recommended.
Yeah, great read and I instantly jumped to Teixcalaan #2 A Desolation Called Peace, which I’m currently reading and also enjoying.
A debut duology. Sounds pretty interesting. Going to check it out.
BTW You name feels familiar, do you have other social media accounts with same name?
I mean, it’s just my name ;) I use it almost everywhere but HN and twitch. But the last time I was active on Twitter was a decade ago ;) unless you mean reddit, obviously.
Ah, it’s possible saw the name on reddit or HN, or maybe even twitter. I haven’t been active in a decade either 😀
Or it could be someone else, with same or similar name.
Well, have fun, familiar looking name person! 😀
