Ending was expected, but I guess if you have such a long running series, pretty much ending will always be expected. Bad guy meets Reacher, bad guy loses, Reacher wins. Fun to read though, which is the main point. Going to keep reading them.

Don't think it ticked any of the Bingo boxes though.

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

Between books atm. However, I did finish:

The Fisherman by John Langan (literary cosmic horror) | bingo squares: award, late to the party (HM)

Two friends go fishing at a creek with an unbelievable history.

Given how much buzz this got when it came out, I was expecting something more than the sort of classical Lovecraft et al.-inspired horror that it is, but maybe that's exactly what its fans were excited for. Would probably rate this as "fine", albeit far too slow for my taste. I found the middle section more interesting than the rest, largely because it's more plot-driven and there's no fishing in it. Be prepared for a lot of fishing.

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers (cozy solarpunk) | bingo squares: minority author, orange, short, LGBTQIA+, award, cozy

2nd novella in the Monk & Robot series. The monk introduces the robot to human civilization.

This was also fine, but I liked the first one better.

(Edited b/c I forgot summaries.)
