Updated for June. I've read 60 books in the first half of this year. Not bad at all!

 

I'm on a bit of a book binge. Updated as I start another Sanderson audiobook, haha.

 

Thoughts on Armada?

 

It's a cliche blast that I adored, but understand why many people find it off-putting and reductive.

 

Didn't know people thought that way.

I also "read" the Audiobook and felt like Wil was much better in that than RP1.

 

Most people hate it because in a lot of ways, it's just a re-telling of Ender's Game and others in the genre. Which, as you've read the thing you understand that's kind of the point, but it's got some incredibly harsh reviews out there.

Wil was fantastic.

 

Always and Forever, Lara Jean.
This is the third book of the famous novel To All the Boys That I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. Anyone who wants a slice of life genre should watch this book.

Updated through current.

Looking through the end of the year there are definitely a few books I still plan to check out but I may not get this as much as I have been.

I'm just proud of myself for actually reading 15 books over the course of 7 months. That's the most I've read since probably Middle School?

 

Great effort!

 

I appreciate that, thanks!

My wife has been giving me shit for years to read something other than comics/graphic novels lol. Finally giving in to her demands haha

 

Should hit my lowered goal of 50 by the end of the month, so maybe 75 is back in play.

 

Updated for August.

Would highly recommend Americanah.

 

The business case for peace is a good one

Updated through current.

 

Updated my list for September. I went away for a week and managed to read six books during that time!

 

Ooooo Sherlock Holmes

 

I've read all of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock books in the last two years and it's one of the best things I chose to do. Finished it last month.

 

Honestly I've never read any SH but I'm a big fan of most of the adaptations. I'd definitely like to read them at some point though. Are they difficult to read it get into?

I take that back a bit I have read Warlock Holmes which is basically the same stories just weirder but still not the same
