interesting. Could stand a bit more structure

Also just finished a re-read of a short little book by Catherine Fisher called The Lammas Field. A great little book I haven't read in about 15 years, but I still remember the storyline clearly as it was a fun fae read.

I've decided I need to try and finish off some series, so I'm re-reading the books I've already read (terrible book amnesia), before moving onto the unread ones, and reading a series in one go. Not something I normally do...
Next up will be the Mistborn series, which might take quite a bit longer!

I've just finished Tim Peake's 'Ask an Astronaut' which was great, and *shock* *horror* I've actually written a short review for.

I love those. Sadly, Bastards has joined the growing list of series with the next book being literally years late.

Also, gonna try and catch up on stuff this weekend. I know I say that a lot, but I'm not on Goodreads as much as I used to be, and don't blog anymore :(
The Secret of Our Success: How Culture Is Driving Human Evolution, Domesticating Our Species, and Making Us Smarter by Joseph Henrich
I'm also rereading a series: The Expanse. Currently on Book 7. I completely relate with book amnesia, particularly when there are many characters exploring complicated storylines.The first time through, I read it. Now I'm listening to it. It definitely makes for a different (and I think largely superior, in my experience) rereading journey.
Rinn, I'm sure you've read The Expanse, right?

I'm currently reading The Expanse Book 7, too. I'm really loving this one, especially considering that Book 6 was a bit of a snore for me.
It's funny that you say that listening to it is superior to reading it. I listened to Dead Moon by Peter Clines this weekend, and I don't usually listen to audio books, and found myself drifting off a bit. Probably depends a lot on the narrator, too I am sure.
