    This is How You Lose the Time War. It is my friend’s favourite book and it didn’t feel great to have to tell them I pretty much hated it. I think it’s the lowest rating I’ve given a book so far.

      Our library did a “big book club” thing where they made infinite e-reader copies available, and I thought hmm, I’ll give it a try and wow I did like it. Later my penultimate kid read it, not knowing I had, and recommended it as one of the best books she’d ever read.

      It was fantastical and strange, I can imagine not liking it but wow I sure did, and so did my kid.

      Life of Pi is the one people seem to like that I hate. I want my 2 hours back, feel it was wasted.
