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?

    The heroes by Joe Abercrombie By all means not a nieche author. Goddamn he makes the fights seem so tense and exciting, with just enough involvement/information for you to not pick sides before the fight happens, but still be very excited about the outcome.

      This was my favorite of his standalone novels. I found the way he explored the POV jumping to be so effective. I hope you enjoy!
