I was pretty busy last week, so couldn't post the weekly thread. Sorry about that.

Since the last update, I finished Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson, book 3 of the sci-fi series Cytoverse. After that, I continued with the last novella Evershore by Brandon and Janci Patterson. Now reading Defiant, the fourth and the final book in the series.

Also reading Design Patterns, a classic book for software design. While I have read about these online and studied from other sources, I never actually read the actual book. So fixing that now.

What about all of you? What have you been listening and reading lately?

A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.

Finished To Catch a Thief by David Dodge. Enjoyable suspense mystery, but definitely of its time (casual Roma racist stereotypes, side couple with an age gap we might side-eye today). Definitely a more methodical, serious story than the movie, which I watched after.

I tried reading The Gathering by C.J. Tudor, a horror police procedural in a world where vampires publicly exist, because I like horror and police procedurals, but... all I did was remind myself that vampires just really aren't my thing most of the time. The writing was compelling, so I might go back to it at some point, or try something else by that author.
