knizer stopped reading Witch King by Martha Wells
ok, I was like 2 hours from done when my Libby audiobook hit the borrow limit, so it returned - while I was listening to the book. Snatched right out of my ears! grah.
I found this book trickier to consume in audiobook form, not sure what about it made me lose the thread of things more than I cared to - had to re-listen to sections to catch what i missed when i spaced out.
maybe switch to paper format to see how these characters names are on the page, hard to track proper nouns in this one.
knizer finished reading Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Nick Broten
repetitive - I was hoping for more of a Cliff's Notes version of Piketty's text, but a lot of the summarization was of the responses to the work rather than the distillation of ideas from the source material. It was okay.
knizer finished reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
nice murder plot; characters I enjoyed hanging out with; at times silly - deeply funny, in a good way. recommend.
