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

Trying to finish up Orange World and Other Stories by Karen Russell, which I started a few months ago and put down partway through. Obscura by Joe Hart is kind of on pause atm, haven't really felt like getting back into it.

Finished A Case of Mice and Murder by Sally Smith (Edwardian-era historical cozy mystery) | bingo squares: different continent, alliterative, x of y HM, steppin' up HM, cozy

A reclusive (neurodiverse?) barrister is strongarmed into investigating the murder of the chief justice, amidst preparing for a challenging court case.

This was delightful, felt just about the right length, and was well paced. I've already added the next book to my TBR pile.
