Saturday April 20, 2024Finished reading: The Fellowship Of The Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien 📚
Now I know why people get obsessed with this series/world. The setting is so well planned and developed. Little morsels of an ancient time. Also a good adventure story that involves an interesting hike.

Monday January 1, 2024Finished reading: The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton 📚👥
Another interesting spin on the whodunnit genre. This one was a little convoluted at times but the book’s main “mechanic” gave a new way to tell these types of stories.

Tuesday August 29, 2023Finished reading: Upgrade by Blake Crouch 📚
I think Recursion is a better book, but this one is almost as engrossing. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to read a sci-fi page turner.
I finished Part 1 some time ago and then life got in the way of me finishing the rest in a timely manner.

Sunday August 20, 2023Finished reading: The 6:20 Man by David Baldacci 📚👥
Read this for book club and we all concluded this was a book you pick up at the airport; it’s entertaining but doesn’t leave an impression. The author clearly had a series in mind and left a lot of questions unanswered. The protagonist basically said “Aw shucks! We’ll get ‘em next time!” at the end.

Sci-fi love story presented as poetry. Difficult but rewarding read.

Finished at the beginning of the year. Modern take on classic whodunnits. Loved it!
