Reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.
Another super busy week, so pretty much still at the same place as last week.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Still listening to Words of Radiance… it’s so long! Thanksgiving travel is providing several hours worth of listening time and I’m still only 3/5ths through it. My Libby loan is gonna run out on Sunday and I’m honestly not sure I’m gonna make it. I have and read a physical copy of The Way of Kings and while I rather like the narrators now that I’m used to them, I’m wondering if I’m just gonna have to continue with physical copies because I don’t do Audible and I can’t manage to get through a whole book in the three weeks or whatever that Libby gives me.
Also listening through Words of Radiance! Knew I’d never complete a rental through Libby so I went straight for a purchase on Libro. So it goes!
I love those books, what do you think of the story so far?
If you don’t do Audible because of Amazon, have you considered Libro.fm? The app isn’t quite on par and the library is smaller, but the company is a lot better, and Sanderson’s works are in there.
I’m enjoying it! I keep having to remind myself that the characters are pretty young because sometimes I picture them older and then they go and do something completely stupid (Kaladin, I’m looking at you right now) but it makes sense if you remember that they are either teenagers or just barely not teens.
I’m a cheapskate so I’m making do with Libby and occasionally also my actual library. If I really like a book, then I’ll consider purchasing a physical copy. I actually prefer reading physical books over audio, but I have so little time and so many other things I want to do that I had basically stopped reading entirely for a long time, and I was frustrated by that. About a year ago I decided that I was just going to force myself to make audiobooks work because I spend a lot of time in the car. Sometimes there isn’t an audio version, so I’ll check out the ebook version from Libby and have it on my phone, and it’s a really nice alternative to doomscrolling when I’m waiting in line or at the doctor’s office or something.
