Reading the third book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tripwire

Liking this more than the second book. Reacher was very passive in that book, so it's nice to see him taking action in this one.

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

No! It has a lot of things I liked in it and overall I liked the story, but for whatever reason, it just felt like a slog whenever I actually read it! No clue why, but something with it was just difficult for me to get through. Since then, I've read a couple dozen other books, I think I'll try giving it another go now that I've read through it and know I do like the story, hopefully I'll find it more enjoyable this time around or maybe I'll try it in a different format and go for an audiobook this time around and see if that helps.
