Finished When Moon Hits the Eye by John Scalzi.

The book is divided so that each chapter is a new day, and it’s from perspective of new people. So there is no story of certain people, rather it’s about the “event” and we see things from different people’s point of view throughout the book.

I didn’t know that, so it took some getting used to, but once I had come to terms with that it was a very interesting book.

Highly recommended for soft sci-fi fans.

What about all of you, what have you been reading or listening to lately?

    I’m stil reading Helm by Sarah Hall. For the second time while reading this book I got ill, but today I’m finally feeling a bit better. I’m almost done, so I’ll probably finish it tonight.

    It’s a really beautiful book so far. I love the mix of different time periods and even writing styles. One story is really heart-wrenching, another is kinda thrillery, it’s a good mix. I hope the ending will be as good.

      I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better! Being ill sucks, hopefully you stay in consistent good health afterwards. I added Helm to my tbr based off of the first time that you shared, looking forward to what you think about the ending/overall.
