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’m currently listening to beastbourn. It’s a LONG series, 6 books first 3 around 30 hours, second three about 20 hours each. Basically a guy is almost assassinated by this ultra powerful wizard guy but then the assassin is assinated by this other super powerful guy and the second guy basically gives the would be victim the real victims power and then transport him to another world.
I’m also listening to the greystone chronicles with my girlfriend. Basically super rich kid plays a videogame to help recover from a neurological disorder(his father and him own the company) and after he kills a group of player killers in the game they take the fight to the real world and attack the company headquarters. It’s a comfy read, very basic writing and no real consequences(to give you and idea when ever a new player in game his father contacts the FBI to investigate them with in seconds and world governments basically raid every house of players who admit to working on the side of bbeg within 2-3minutes). Plus it’s 5 books long and without going into details there is a end. All the stories wrap up and there is no continuation or second story(mostly there are some references in the authors other series but only references).
