Juggling library holds, TBR reading challenge and next in various series can be challenging. So I've just now added an "Up next" section to my LibraryThing app so I don't have to keep working it out. And...here it is Ta-dah!!🎉 🪐🐉📚💙

1/ Loved the first half of this, where we work out why & how old people are being drafted into a space force. Thought the second half lost it's way a bit, and then it finished strong. I felt he didn't take enough advantage of how old they are in the second half 🪐📚💙

A recent DNF. Really expected to like this but I just didn't get it. Kept expecting it to get better but eventually I had just had enough of the 2 characters effectively being told they really COULD do better. I realise I didn't get to the reveal, googled it later. 🐉📚💙

I don't read a huge amount of sci-fi but really enjoyed this one! An odyssey into far flung parts of space. Good characters, excellent writing and interesting mysteries. And I REALLY wasn't expecting the elephants... 🐘🪐📚💙

Current read: The Fireman. Joe Hill is right up there with his Dad Stephen King in showing the horror of well meaning but deluded people trying to do what they think is the right thing... 📚🪐💙

June TBR challenge: A book with less than 150 pages - Exit Strategy is just over but I didn't have anything smaller on TBR; and a book with more than 500 pages - The Fireman doesn't look so impressive on a tablet, but it definitely qualifies at 700! 📚🪐🐉💙

Unexpectedly, a non-book post.. my son has just suggested a 5km run together when we catch up in 8 weeks, so there's a challenge! Just realized I haven't run 5km since 2022 😬. Ready, set go... 🏃‍♀️
