In high density urban settings this is absolutely true. 99% of my orders are delivered by bicycle.

Took a break in the series at The Wolves of Cala. Something about this particular book isn't resonating with me. Maybe this western showdown vibe is dragging on too long, it's almost off putting at this point. I want more of the sci fi elements and notes that the earlier books had.

Blitzed through the Thursday Murder Club series (all of the published ones so far) and really enjoyed them. There are some really touching moments of grief mixed with optimism and hope draped in a backdrop of ridiculousness and intrigue. The short chapters make it easy to digest.

Read The Gone World whose take on time travel was neat and used the mechanic to craft an intriguing world(s). The crime/detective angle kept me pretty interested, though the writing style was a bit odd for me. There were many uses of sentence fragments that didn't flow naturally, more akin to bullet points shoehorned into paragraphs. There was also some background delivered via exposition/monologue that felt a tad lazy. I've heard that the ending is a sticking point for some but I didn't find it difficult to follow and thought the execution was not bad.

Finally also got around to A Wizard of Earthsea which I adored. The internal growth and journey of the protagonist felt genuine. I absolutely loved that there is much left to the imagination on this one. Shed some light on how I perceive Rothfuss' works.

My current book is A Gentleman in Moscow which is thus far well written and fairly entertaining though I'm not far enough to provide a more meaningful review.

The originals were fantastic. The 2018 version is sublime.

Protein Shake! Cute.

Drop in the bucket compared to the cost of travel. Your point still stands though.

It went from interesting to frustrating to enraging that I wasted my time. I watched it all. I wish I could have that time back.

Incompatible with air mattress.

It is likely many factors at once but it's also important not to assume causation where there is a correlation. Keep in mind also our mechanism of detection is better now than it's ever been.

Front loaders suck for moisture retention. They need more care between cycles to prevent build up.
