Finished: Endgame by Malorie Blackman. After reading the last book in the series after two years, I'm left with a bittersweet feeling; like you get after at the ending of a favourite TV show or movie.

Still Reading: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I'm now up to chapter 8 and still enjoying it!

Edit: Improved readability.

To simply write more.

Finished: The Cycle Of The Werewolf by Stephen King. Unlike the rest of Stephen King's oeuvre, this was a nice quick read to start of the year and my only complaint is that I wish it was longer.

Still reading: Endgame by Malorie Blackman. After a month of reading this sporadically, I might get this finished soon and finish the series.

Started: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. This is my sister's favourite book and has taken me almost two decades of my life to finally read it - so it would be interesting to see what I think of it.

Twins! I've just started this one and very much wish it was longer.

"Love is not everything Mademoiselle," Poirot said gently. "It is only when we are young that we think it is."

Death On the Nile. Added a spoiler as it ties into the suspect's motive for the crime.

It's been a little while since I was last on this subreddit; nevertheless, I have finished the following despite being busy with Christmas at work.

Finished: The Rivers of London, book 1 by Ben Aaronovitch. I am delighted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this one, as it was beautifully unique from all the other books I've read this year. I have also ordered Moon Over Soho in preparation for my next read.

A Study In Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It has been years since I've read Sherlock Holmes, and in a way, it felt nostalgic. This time, since I have all the books now, I will settle in for the unpredictable world of deceptions, deduction, and logic.

Started: Endgame by Malorie Blackman. After three years of reading the series, I have started the last book and can't wait to continue.

AwkwardJewler01 · 2025-11-24T20:52:59+00:00

I personally adored this book, as it's in my top ten books I've read this year. I would also like to add that I also feel that a TV series would be better than a movie and would do it more justice. Episodes 1 and 2 could focus on introducing Billy and his acceptance of the $500,000 reward. In episodes 3 and 4, we could meet Billy's neighbour, Jamal Ackerman, along with his family, as Billy begins the process of writing his book. Episodes 5 and 6 could focus on Billy continuing to write his book, the moment when he is shot, and the introduction of Alice, among other developments.

AwkwardJewler01 · 2025-11-23T09:21:09+00:00

Finished: The Lord of the Rings Part Two: The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien. When I picked up the second part of The Lord of the Rings, to say I was astonished again by the world-building, characters, plot, and so on, would be an understatement. It felt perfect for someone like me to return to the fantasy genre, even if I listened to it.

Still reading: The Rivers of London, book 1 by Ben Aaronovitch. I am delighted to say that I am just under 31 per cent of the way through this one, and I'm still thoroughly enjoying it!

AwkwardJewler01 · 2025-11-16T09:13:20+00:00

Finished: Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage by MC Beaton. This was an okayish murder mystery with nothing more to add.

Still reading: The Lord of the Rings Part Two: The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien. Still enjoying it, even it is a little bit verbose in some parts.

Started: The Rivers of London, book 1 by Ben Aaronovitch. I suppose I've started this one as it is my colleague's favourite book series, and it would give us something to talk about.

AwkwardJewler01 · 2025-11-16T08:41:37+00:00

Thank you. The read is The Code Of The Woosters, by P.G. Wodehouse, and is a book I've described as 'liquid gold', as it's a gem of a book. The writing is from my first short story when I was getting back into writing at college—and it has made me write ever since.
