Finished Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

I didn't realise second half will also feature Iran and the life after revolution. A very interesting look at part of recent history I knew nothing about. Highly recommended if you don't mind graphic novels and memoirs.

Bingo squares: Banned Book - hard mode, Set in war

Also read Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

This is my second book by Scalzi and he is reaching status of my favourite author. It's an easy to read space, military sci-fi. Another highly recommended book for sci-fi fans.

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

Bobiverse are among my favourite finds in the last year. Stumbled upon it last christmas, and I liked all of them.
