★★★★★
I’m losing count. Seventh read? First since I watched the movie anyway. No notes. Hope Weir is working on something new 🙂
Cixin Liu
★★★☆☆
It had moments of delight and promise, but it was very flat and lacked drama and emotion. Too much of a discombobulated slog to get any more than 3 stars from me.

I read the blog post that lead to this book a decade ago and found it hilarious. It didn’t need to be turned into a self-help book though.
Aisling Rawie
★★☆☆☆
It was a Kindle daily deal. I never learn. Intriguing premise but ach it just wasn’t for me.
Rachel Reid
★★★★☆
It’s cool that this one in Reid’s series featured guys around my age. Relatable, if formulaic, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Chris Hadfield
★★★☆☆
Hmm I’m not sure the conclusion was worth the cost of the setup. I enjoyed the mix of real-world space travel with fiction. The ending felt a bit lazy - stuff with guns and knives always is.
Peter Kay
★★★☆☆
Amusing and easy to read. I was a huge fan of Kay back in the day - maybe I was expecting too much? Enjoyed finding out more about him though.
Rachel Reid
★★★★☆
Same thoughts as the last one - a refreshingly believable and relatable story. I wish books like this had existed 30 years ago.
Rachel Reid
★★★★☆
Delightfully normal and believable, especially compared to most other LGBT+ books/movies/TV shows. Graphic too! 😳
David Koenig
★★★★☆
Covered a lot! One day I will return to central Florida. Not with the USA’s currently border controls though.

Nup. Too much military stuff, and way too many characters for me to keep track of.

Keeping the tradition of starting the year with my favourite alive.
