Progress:

Almost forgot to post this week.

I Finished both of the Michelle Paver books. Dark Matter was far better than Thin Air but they were both enjoyable enough. Been making very good progress with F&B though I am trying to pace myself a bit to not finish it in a few days.

The setting was interesting, though this was a bit less character driver than Dark Matter was. I can't say the characters were completely flat but they felt a bit more trope-y than the other book.

My main gripe with it is that a lot of the plot was copy-pasted from Dark Matter and followed the exact same story structure. You can literally draw direct parallels from both, it's a bit too on the nose if you read both.

overall it was good, though.

I'm gonna finish this tomorrow. I'm really liking it so far but some plot elements feel directly copy-pasted from Dark Matter which is a bit disappointing.

Progress:

I didn't finish anything this week but I am sure that I will finish both of the Michelle Paver books as they are on the short end of things. Made good progress with F&B, I need to stop being tired in order to read the physical books.

Okay. 💁🏼‍♂️ I'm honestly no longer sure what I wanted this book to be, so can't really assess whether it delivered. It's not that it tried to be too many things - it was concise in its treatment of various people involved in the development of the Appalachian Trail, you got a sense of who they were and how they contributed. Maybe I'm not cut out for straight history/short biographies when I'm unsure of my interest level in the subject matter? 1/

“urban sprawl“ really is a phrase that evokes the ick.
Alas, for the proposed alternative to sprawl and suburbs I would love to see more of present day.

YEAH!
