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 started A Crown of Swords yesterday :)

It's a pity that I am unable to read such long series, it takes me years and I forget most of what I read before because of how much time passes for me between each book. I have to read plot summaries for all the previous books when I start the next one and the further I go the more I have to catch up. At least there's the WoT Compendium app.
