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.

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?
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

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