[ J o ] is starting Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers (Red Dwarf #1)
Currently "listening". This is free on Spotify, read by Rimmer himself doing an amazing Scouse accent. I have been wanting to try audiobooks for a little while now so I might as well go for something I lovelovelove. Excited to learn a few of the canon facts that aren't in the telly programme.

"Under normal circumstances, Marcus O'Bannion might have welcomed the openly appreciative stare of a beautiful woman as he lounged, shirtless and sweaty. But... Scarlett Bishop was no ordinary beautiful woman. She was a homicide detective."

Whaaaaa? Someone was just murdered and you follow up with this fucking nonsense. My Belzebub 4 stars overall on this book it better get good pretty fucking soon.

'Age': The weird comma sentences don't flow too well but the imagery is delightful. Unfortunately, the personification of the dragon is not something I can get behind. 2 stars.

[ J o ] is starting Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1)
I have decided to pick three YA series to read and finally figure out if I should ever read YA again or just be prejudicial and ignore them forevermore. This is the first.

[ J o ] is reading All We Have Is Now
Only a few pages in and we already have the protagonist's stupid weird name and her eye colour noted, with a weird writing style just to be different. But teenagers - sorry, YOUNG ADULTS - wouldn't be the same without weirdness would they.

On page 85 and I don't want to read any more already. This is absolutely dire... It might be the first book of the reading challenge that I don't finish... Yep. Life is short and cycling is on.

Just over half way and already I know this will be 5 stars unless something utterly devastating happens, like he starts writing it in French or Donald Trump becomes President.
