2022: The Lives Of Brian (AC/DC frontman autobiography) - Loved it. Super chill and funny guy. No Plan B (Jack Reacher #27) (Lee Child)- series isn't as good as it once was, but still entertaining. Last Adventure Of Constance Verity (A.Lee Martinez) - Equivalent of a leave-your-brain-at-the-door movie. Not deep but ridiculous and entertaining. A Minute To Midnight (Atlee Pine #2) (David Baldacci) - Enjoying this series a lot so far. Reading #3 soon. The Flood (Meghan O Flynn) - Disappointing. Interesting premise (Sister and brother escape a flood hiding in an underground shelter with other survivors) but long, looooong stretches where nothing happens, where the author keeps repeating things. Pace upticked finally close to the end, but didn't save the rest of it. Long Road To Mercy (Atlee Pine #1) (David Baldacci) - See above Hidden Pictures (Jason Rekulak) - Now this was a great read. Great thriller. Interesting plot. Great pace. Plowed through it quickly because it was so good. Thirteen Storeys (Jonathan Sims) - Meh. Not bad but not overly good either. South Pole Station (Ashley Shelby) - DNF. It just stopped being interesting and turned into a slog and I wasn't even halfway through it. The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet (Becky Chambers) - Finished it, tried to like it, but felt it was pretty mediocre. No desire to continue the series. The Wisdom Of Crowds (Joe Abercrombie) - Book of the year for me, third in the newest First Law trilogy. I love everything he writes, which is fantasy with a lot of dark humor in it and terrific characters. Steelheart (Brandon Sanderson) - Pretty good. I enjoyed it but didn't really feel the need to continue the series. Falling (TJ Newman) - Not bad, didn't leave a lasting impression though. Batman Court Of Owls (Greg Cox) - The graphic novel in novel form. Pretty good. The Guest List (Lucy Foley) - Kept seeing this pop up on recommendation lists. Fun book. Nice twists. I'd recommend it too. MOX (Jon Moxley) - Jon Moxley's autobiography obviously. Loved it. He wrote it himself and decided to keep all the typos in to keep it real, which I thought was pretty cool. --- 'We're not gonna make it, are we? People i mean.' 'It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.' ... Copied to Clipboard!
