Like I said a few days ago, I took a break on Discovery of Witches and started reading Gone Girl and I am so happy I did. I was not sure what to expect, this is another book I wasn't planning to read but I found in a local little free library; I've never seen the movie but I remember it was quite a success and I was worried the book is just an easy thriller. I don't know about the movie but the book is great! The writing is amazing, the way the relationship unravels in parallel with the main event and from both hers and his points of view, in stories and diary entries. And the way the lives of all major characters is detailed and analyzed in so much detail but in simple words and ideas is simply awesome. Gillian Flynn is another author that I will follow and try to read more. When I'll finish this book I'll be dropping it back in another little free library in the area and buy my own copy, something I like to do as a small thanks to the authors I like.

A new (for me) Neil Gaiman book

My son got a new book from the library and I was thrilled to see it was by Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite authors, but also surprised, to my shame I've never heard about Fortunately, the Milk before. After he was done, he told me I have to read it because it has time travel; I did and I'm happy I did, it was indeed great. The best part is that it is the first book that exposes him to time travel - every time when we watched some time travel action in a movie, he told me he is very confused, I really want to have a talk with him to see if this book helped or not. Now heading online to get my own copy...

Started reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness and while I love the writing and how the book started, pretty soon the romance aspect started to take over and be a bit too much for me. I will keep the audiobook around and listen to it now and then and I am sure I will finish it someday but the paperback I will drop in a little free library in the area so someone else can find it and enjoy it (as a cool side note, I was amazed to see how many people are wishing for this book: according to LibraryThing there 599 people wishing for it right now.

In the meantime I have a lot more attractive books waiting for me, like N.K.Jemisin's The Broken Earth Trilogy (The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, The Stone Sky). I started reading The Fifth Season a while back and fell in love with it, bought the entire trilogy and now is waiting for me to read it all.
