Hello everyone!

Have been pretty busy with life, so haven’t been reading much, other than some random web novels when I have some time.

Just got back to my usual reading from today, hope will be able to stick to it now. I was reading Streams of Silver by R. A. Salvatore. Book 2 of the series.

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

    I’ve seen the adaptation of The City & The City, but while I remember liking it, the concept seemed pretty gimmicky. Does it feel more natural/realistic in the book?

      …Hard for me to answer that, as I’m still wrapping my head around it, but I’m going to say yes, as while I haven’t seen the adaptation, you almost certainly get a lot more of the main character’s thoughts and point-of-view, as well as more worldbuilding. The way the city (and the city) work is clearly integral to the plot, but I didn’t feel cheated by it, in any case.
