Finished Defiant by Brandon Sanderon, fourth and final book of the Cytoverse series. Really enjoyed it. Recommended to all sci-fi fans. Though do keep it in mind that it is a bit YA-ish, so if you aren’t a fan of that, you may not love it.

After that, read couple of books I got for the kid. Mainly read them to stay in the loop of what he is reading and how he is liking it. Also, it’s fun to discuss books with him.

First was, the first book in The Breakfast Club Adventures, The Beast Beyond the Fence by Marcus Rashford (The footballer) and Alex Falase-Koya. The protagonist of the series is also named Marcus Rashford, so I am assuming it’s named after him.

Second was Accidental Trouble Magnet by Zanib Mian, first book in Planet Omar series. We are reading her newer series Meet the Maliks and liked that, so started her previous series too.

Currently reading Killing Floor by Lee Child, first book in Jack Reacher series. Before that my only Reacher knowledge is from Tom Cruise movies, so enjoying the book now.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening lately?

    Never heard of Ngaio Marsh, just found out she is considered Queen of Crime along with Agatha Chrisie and couple of other. Should look her up (and also Agatha Christie, have heard so much about her, but don’t think I have read any of her work)

    Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll take a look at it.

      Ngaio Marsh is good, and I’m enjoying them, but if it’s between her or Agatha Christie, then Dame Agatha wins every time (personal opinion).

      I LOVE a good Poirot mystery story. Gather all the suspects together and then reveal all the secrets everyone has been hiding as well as the culprit of the dastardly crime. chef’s kiss
