I'd like to add the audiobooks are quite good for those who listen! They're a very fun series (I've "only" been through the first 6, quite a few more after I checked.)

Yeah, I listened to them on audiobook myself. Also about 6 of them, give or take, oddly enough. I have been doing audiobooks a ton the last few years, as I rarely have time to just sit down and read. Perfect for when you're doing menial tasks that aren't mentally engaging. Doing dishes, driving, going grocery shopping... audiobook.

I've been on the Dungeon Crawler Carl series lately which is another great series that's also weird as hell. Weirder even than the Laundry Files by far. A half naked protagonist fighting for his life with his girlfriend's cat in tow, meth head llamas, and a dungeon-controlling AI with a thing for feet, just to name a few things from early in the first book. And the narrator for Carl sounds a lot like Patrick Warburton. Thoroughly recommend if that sounds like your kind of thing.

I'll definitely give them a listen!

I also need to recommend, as you seem to be a brid of my feather, using audible and a kindle together to trade off between daytime story listening and nighttime reading in bed. I know Amazon is evil, and there are a lot of issues in particular with audible's payment structure towards indie authors, but God damn do they offer a compelling service. I picked up a new-gen Paperwhite last prime day and my bedtime routine and travel bag has been irrepreably changed.

I'd love to hear more about what you've been listing to!

Edit: I didn't make it clear above but Amazon will track your progress between the audiobook and the Kindle book and sync them.
