Rated Jade City 8/10

Rated The Fifth Season 8/10

Rated The Great Mental Models Volume 2: Physics, Chemistry and Biology 8/10

Rated The Labyrinth of the Spirits 8/10

The main story was good, twisty-turny and atmospheric as you'd expect, but the meta postscript/epilogue felt unnecessary and self-indulgent.

Rated Excession 6/10

Rated Foundryside 8/10

Rated Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by Rowling J.K. 8/10

I missed out on the books when I was growing up (reading lots of Discworld instead) but loved the films, so I'm reading them now as an adult (read the first one last year).<br><br>This was unabashedly a children's book. The sentences are short and simple, the characters maybe 2 and a half dimensions at most, and the plot unfolds quite simply. <br><br>However, it's a great children's book! The simplicity of the writing means there's lots of space for the setting to be brought to life, and it's a fun read.<br><br>I'm looking forward to when my kids are big enough to read it too.

Rated Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 10/10

Rated Bred in the Bone 8/10

Rated How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk 10/10

I'd read the "Little Kids" book so this was largely more of the same advice, but it's always good to be reminded of all the useful skills &amp; lessons I regularly forget when talking to my own little people.
