What I’m currently reading…
Judge Dredd Year One
I know these 2000AD novels aren’t what you would call mainstream reads for book lovers, since their origins were established in comics, but I love this world. So I’m indulging myself.
The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch (2018)
Before buying I read the first chapter of this book. I prefer this method to reading the possibly misleading cover blurb, to get my taste of the book, and I was all in. Unfortunately, the book in its entirety is very different to that opening chapter.
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig (2020)
I've had to call it a day on this one, I just can't go any further than 101 pages. This book didn't work for me on so many levels.
Jade City by Fonda Lee (2017)
Well, I'm afraid that's it."Game over, man. Game over!"
I pushed myself as far as I could but I just have to call it quits.
Stormblood by Jeremy Szal (2020)
I was hooked on this book at the beginning. It's a pretty cool world with a nice variety of characters and some nice backstory, so it's hard for me to say it just didn't float my boat.
Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse (2018)
I'm very sorry, and I hope the author doesn't read this because it's just a personal thing, but I was utterly bored during this entire read. The only reason I stuck with it to the end was because I agreed to give it a try on a personal recommendation.
Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Thomas Sweterlitsch (2014)
A great idea drowned in waffle.
I had to hit the DNF button at page 123, I couldn't even force myself to get my customary halfway point in the book before making the decision to put it down.
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu (2006)
Unfortunately, I'm having to call it a day at page 208 for this one.
Elantris by Brandon Sanderson (2005)
This book just doesn't really go anywhere...or at least, it takes its own sweet time about it.
