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.

just finished it today and I gave it 3.75/5. Mostly because I felt like the ending was just okay. If I explained my gripes with the end, it'd get deep into spoilers but if you enjoy reading for the ride and not the destination, it's pretty good. If you need a book to stick the landing, maybe pass.
