February in Books

February didn’t bring any particularly interesting books to my shelves. I was tempted to skip the monthly summary this month but it would break a long tradition. My alternative idea for a blog post was to write about 4-dimensional spheres. Unfortunately, that idea needs more research and lost. After all, have you seen a 4-dimensional sphere?

Best

• Fleet of the Damned by Allan Cole and Chris Bunch – space opera that shot above its weight. I awarded it with 5*. Looking back, it’s probably a 4* that just looked so much nicer than the series of disappointments before it.
• I, eater by Alex Kosh – a 5* ghost fantasy that starts and ends nowhere. Alex Kosh is talented and I hope he gets translated to English one day.

Worst

Now that I look at the list, it’s hard to distinguish any book as particularly worst of all. I read a book that had an average of 1* on Goodreads. Was it bad – yes! But was it worse than Children of Time that took me 2 months? Not at all. It was a quick read with an okay idea.

I owe myself some good books. Or a break from reading bad books. Even the best two above were not something you’d want to remember. Maybe I need to find myself something non-fiction to flush my brain.
