I was really distracted and I'm only on chapter 2.

I've read my fair share of authors trying to take on the classics.
Some of them don't work. The amount of people who've tried to write Sherlock Holmes cannot do it. I do admire Horowitz's work though.
I hope this book follows in the steps of Horowitz and Lagercrantz because they both stay true to the author.
Don't let me down (and please don't have Hastings in it)!

I need to finish this soon; there are so many unanswered questions!!

WHAT IS GOING ON?

I'm on edge. What?!!!

Whilst editing my essay, I really got into this. So I had to stop.
It is sort of breaking the fourth wall by hypothesising what would happen if the Allies won the War. (Let's just say, I'm glad they did!)

To be honest, I don' really know what's going on at the moment.

CHAPTER 34 WAS THE GREATEST!
The drama between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy was so good. Wow.

This is such a great book to read while editing because I know the story so well. I hate Mrs Bennett but I love Elizabeth Bennett's sass - it's great!

I probably should have listened to this before but I just haven't and I really don't know why but it is one of the 100 penguin classics to read before you die...

I fancied some dystopian fiction and this has been on my to-read list for a while.
Don't be disappointing...

I guessed the secret so I'm a little annoyed but I think I need to get to the end. I need to understand the implications of the secret.

I'm upset that I only have 100 pages but wow to the Hawkings! I've learned so much and I'm still really engaged in the story.

WHAT IS THIS SECRET?

I'm caught up in this but I'm still annoyed that I don't know what the secret is or how everyone knows each other.

Never mind children, I'm so engaged in this.
I'm learning so many facts.
(One of the facts about exoplanets is now out-of-date because of February's discovery.)

I feel about 40-years-old reading this book but I originally wanted to read Big Little Lies (because of the Netflix adaptation) but I don't have that yet and only have this so I thought I'd start with this.

I feel immersed in this but I am ashamed to say that I didn't realise it was set in Australia.

Lucy and Stephen Hawking are geniuses.
Every other children's fiction author, read this and they show you how it's done.
On the level of Riordan.

Listened to another story, whilst I was waiting for my train.
Again predictable but I got lost in Benedict Cumberbatch's voice.

Seriously good.

I love Benedict Cumberbatch but these stories are so predictable and quite a tarnish to Doyle's creation.

Bath + audio-book = perfection!

This is like a poor man's version of Sherlock Holmes and should be in appendix 1 as to why I don't like other authors picking up Sherlock Holmes but with this audio-book I don't care because Benedict Cumberbatch is reading it.

It's so surreal having Benedict Cumberbatch read from the viewpoint of John Watson...

Let's be real, this is my new audiobook because Benedict Cumberbatch is narrating this.
Yes please.
(The stories are probably going to be crap but I don't care.)

I'm just going to keep chipping away at this, while I have a spare five minutes.

Now, it's really starting to get interesting AND filled with scientifically accurate facts.

I've bought myself this book because I can't deal not knowing what's going to happen next.

I read some more on the train and every time I hear a chapter, I fall in love with this book a little bit more. I don't care that I've been listening to it since January but I've been busy and really enjoying this book.

This is definitely my #1 read of 2017 and it's going to take some beating for anything to be rated higher than this book.

I absolutely adore this book! I really don't want it to end. I'll keep reading it when I'm on the train but wow, I love the imagery so much!!!

I'M BUYING MYSELF THIS BOOK NEXT WEEK.
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!

Turns out he's not actually dead but arrested and probably soon to be dead. Arrgghghghgh!!!
(I had spare time.)
