Last week I finished When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi, and I am currently working on the fourth book in the Chequey Series by Daniel O’Malley, Royal Gambit.

The Chequey Series started with The Rook, and I’ve been reading every book as it comes out. I enjoy the whole series, but it can be controversial because not everybody agrees with its structure, as each book doesn’t directly follow the characters of the one before, but instead tells another story with different characters who interact in the same world. They slightly overlap at some point.

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

With regards to Bingo, I’m provisionally planning to use When the Moon Hits Your Eye for the square New Release and Royal Gambit for the square Political, but they may drop off or be changed as time goes on.

Blindsight by Peter Watts. Its interesting and irritating at the same time. I think by the end of the 2nd page I was wondering if Peter Watts is autistic, not a bad thing because i relate to the characters but its jarring compared to how most people write characters and its a bit cringe sometimes. I'm also not enjoying how he describes things he will describe something by referencing several things that all would never occur in real life and so its hard to imagine them all together and then try to figure out wtf hes actually trying to get you to picture. The long descriptions really break the flow.

Other than that the story is cool im only 25% of the way in but so far so good.
