Well, I don't know about "Best Book", but it's at least in the running for "Best Book Dedication" 😂

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.

So, it's either keep buying more books or become a librarian? 🤔
It's a rare thing indeed to have life present us with two excellent choices 😊

It's not that I *can't* read all of the books I already have, it's that once a reader finishes all the books in their possession, they transcend into their final form and I'm just not ready to become a librarian yet.

I quite like the 1984 film version of Dune, but the characters are a bit far fetched. An obese, orange, diseased peadophile starting a war for his own selfish needs.

Is all writing paradoxical, or do I just have serious lack of 'Times'? The author yawned because he couldn't be bothered to figure it out. 😂

The addition of Abigail as POV character means Peter Grant gets a well deserved break, and that this is definitely the best of the later books in the Rivers of London series. 4/5 stars.

I give the series overall so far 3,5 stars, but not being a big crime/detective reader I'm perhaps not the target audience. But if you're looking for a crime series filled with magic and other fantasy/scifi elements, and the occasional geeky refrence, this might be for you...
