Finished Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 2 of Rivers of London series. Our PC is getting better with the magic, and yet is still very new to this. We get a peek at the bigger magic world. Would be interesting to see how it develops further.
Reading Artemis by Andy Weir. Have read his other books and loved them, but this is supposedly different then his other work. Let’s see.
Also, I think I should start working on Book Bingo, if I wait till the end of Bingo year, I would’ve forgotten half of what I have read. If any of you are working your Book Bingo, how far have you reached?
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
Hmm… a modern retelling of Jane Eyre. The reviews are pretty varied on it, from “best thriller I’ve ever read”, to “this isn’t a thriller, it feels like romantic comedy”.
How are you liking it so far?
I finished it. It was good. I’ve come to know Freida’s style now. She has great twists at the end, but her writing can drag for too long before she gets to the good stuff. I have started on “The Count of Monte Cristo”(in Arabic), and at the same time I’m reading another book called “Occidentalism: The West in the Eyes of Its Enemies”(Also in Arabic). I split my reading
tointo my fiction part in the morning and the non-fiction in the evening.Cool. I wish I had that much time to read 😀
My times to read are 4 am to about 6. Then before bed around 9 to 11. I have a full time job, two kids (one is special needs) and I have to go to the gym, too. I just cut off TV and video games out of my weekdays and moved them to the weekend. Also, I’ve been putting the phone down and replacing it with my Kobo sage e-reader. It’s hard to do, but I force myself. Making progress. I find reading very calming and I love how it isolates me from the world.
Ah, that early morning is my gaming time, if I sleep on time, otherwise that’s just sleeping time. Other than that, don’t really use a smart phone, just read a book for few mins here and there whenever I have some time.
