Finished Killing Floor by Lee Child, first Jack Reacher novel. I really liked it. I had been looking forward to starting the series, so ordered first 3 books, but when I got the books they were pretty thick, and I wasn’t sure if an action / thriller novel will keep me interested for so long, but I enjoyed it. Going to order a few more novels in the series.

Read Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, first novel in Rivers of London series. It’s an urban fantasy police procedural set in London. I was expecting something like Dresden Files, but it was pretty different, not in a bad way though.

Currently Reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin. Started it in January but hardly read a few pages, started it again today and just finished the first chapter. Unlike some of the other “money” books I have read, this seems to have focus on getting away from consumerism, and figuring out when you have “enough”. I have been thinking along the same wavelength these past few years, so it would be interesting to see how it takes it further.

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

    I finished Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang. It was pretty enjoyable, each short story was well-contained and lasted only long enough to tell the story without being drawn out too much.

    I am now reading Red Rising by Pierce Brown. It reminds me a bit of Hunger Games in the initial setup, but I’m hooked!
