My first Simak, I‘ll be tackling another once my library hold comes in. I enjoyed the writing and sped through the book. The ending was quite a letdown. I was especially annoyed with the blatant misunderstanding of evolution and how the entire narrative hinged on that misunderstanding. There were several loose ends that remained undone by the end as well. Still enjoyable enough for me to look forward to reading another by the author.

1. Checked off the eclipse. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can go for a hike Saturday.
2. Coffee. I don‘t snack a lot while reading, but a good dark chocolate if I do.
3. I love matching my bookmarks to what I‘m reading. Whether it‘s by theme or color.
4. Currently reading multiples. I‘ll tag the one I‘m likely to finish this week then add the others in the comments.

I don't seek out heist books, but can now confirm a fantasy book with a heist subplot can be a good time. Getting the team together meant an engaging new cast of characters introduced, and the shenanigans Irene and Kai get themselves into and out of continues to be highly diverting. 1/2

Alternate world Brexit = demonic plot. 😂

I am posting one book per day (although lately it's been every other day or every couple of days. I'll fix that) from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

Words to live by. 😅

Feeling very called out right now....😅

Book 2 finished for #20in4 and #FabulousFebruary

This one took a bit to get into because of the complexity. I ended up loving it. The characters were full of depth, and I read the last 300 pages in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down.

Not as great as the first one. This was just way too long and deviated from the climax way too much throughout the book. The final event occurs after a lot of unnecessary events that I personally felt weren't required.
