Still reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.

Had a busy week so couldn’t get much reading done, about halfway through though.

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

      That sound interesting, care to elaborate a bit? Do you like it? What genre is it? Any comparisons to something else?

        I think it’s a good read on a topic I don’t have a lot of experience with. I’m not sure which genre it falls under and I don’t really have anything else to compare it to. I’ll upload images to help others better understand.

            Yeah, I agree. Then I realized the reason it give me the creeps is because I don’t have any experience with this topic at any real depth.

            I learned a long time ago, the only reason I every fear something is because I’m ignorant about said thing.

            The more I read this book, the less ill feelings it gives me.

          That looks wild! I’ll have to see if I can get a copy somewhere. And from what I’m reading I also couldn’t really answer any of my questions, but in this case it sounds like that’s a good thing haha

            I hope you can find it :) There’s a lot more in the book in regards to information and personal experiences that isn’t really in the photos. It’s definetly a unique book imo.

            I really want to read some of his other books, which people say are very good.
