Reading, Listening, Watching

Reading: Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson - only two chapters in but so far and interesting if moderately standard mildly post-apocalyptic urban setting and a somewhat irritating patois spoke by the characters. Finished Red Seas under Red Skies which can indeed be pretty much summed up as good but not as good as The Lies of Locke Lamora

Listening: Just started listening to the first part of Sandstorm in Welcome to Night Vale. I'm told this two-parter is good, but I think it will have to be pretty stunning to persuade me to continue listening afterwards. I feel Welcome to Night Vale is a nice idea but mostly delivering more of the same.

Watching: Power of the Daleks (birthday present).

Sandstorm is the best part of WtNV. If you're not into it, quit after the second part, because I don't think anything that comes later is remotely that good (though I only listened to maybe another dozen episodes after that).

I sort of feel I'd be a lot more into it if it had stopped after 10 or so episodes, then it would have still been quirky, interesting and different whereas, twenty or so episodes in it is already becoming quite repetitive.
