Started next book in the Dresden Files series, Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. This is book 13, and is pretty unique so far. The previous book "Changes" has changed quite a bit, and now we are living those changes.

Can't put it down, want to see how it develops!

My previous book, Streams of Silver covers 2 bingo squares: Title: [X] of [Y] and Off your TBR pile (hard mode).

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

It's one of my favorite series. If you'd like to read just one book to get a feel for it, Dead Beat was written as a soft introduction because the TV show was coming out on scifi at the time. If you're willing to start from the beginning, the first 2½ books are enjoyable but pretty cliché. About midway through the third book is when it really starts to take off and hit its stride. There's a reason it's one of the most well-known urban fantasy series and it truly has some really fun moments.
