We who will die (audio)
So I’m not reading trashy romantasy anymore but I am still listening to it. It’s good because I can do other things whilst I’m listening and if I phase out for a bit the plot isn’t that sophisticated that I can’t keep up. This was a bit boring to start to be honest. And just…
Normal people (reread #5)
People rave about this book and to be honest I don’t get it. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but I wouldn’t go and tell the world and his wife that they need to read it. The difference in their social class and social standing is well observed, and following that shift as they grow up…
