I'm finishing up The Golden Enclaves, the last of the Scholomance Series by Naomi Novik. It fulfills The Jerk with a Heart of Gold square, but in getting in to it, it also fits the LGBTQIA+ representation square. I've gotten started on so many great series in the last few years doing reading challenges and this year I'm going to try and get caught up with a bunch of them. I'm super excited!

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

Weird attempts at character voices can tend to take me out of audiobooks too. I think there's a good balance somewhere between one reader doing all voices and the audio play-style ones for some books where in the future one could have effectively studio artists like the ones they used to sit in on albums to handle parts like that in books without the entire thing having to be a different person for each character.

I just wish somebody had pulled this guy aside and been like, “Dude, he’s a Rasta space trucker, not fuckin Tonto.”
