My thoughts on this weeks’ reading
I really enjoyed Project Hail Mary, despite not thinking it would be something I’d like when I first saw posts about it on social media, I’m glad I gave it a go. Winter was also a good listen, hearing about how other people spend the winter and traditions they keep. It might have been a shorter listen but it was an enjoyable listen for the first book of the new year. It was good to finally start the next book in the Accidental Alchemist series, I certainly did not intend to spend the whole day on book two but I guess that’s what I needed to spend Sunday doing.
I can’t quite believe I’ve already finished 5 books in the first 4 days of the year – I’m clearly still in motion from last years’ reading frenzy!
