Started Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire. First book in her October Daye urban fantasy series. This is my first Seanan McGuire book, have heard a lot about her.

Still skimming through The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Caroll.

Putting Ultra-processed Food by Chris van Tulleken on hold for a bit, shouldn't have started multiple non-fiction at once. Will pick it up after finishing the Bullet Journal Method.

Just finished The Paradox Paradox by Daniel Hardcastle (aka Nerdcubed) and it is by far one of the most entertaining books I've read in years. After getting outright robbed by his publisher, he's regained the rights and put it up on his Patreon as an epub version for a few bucks, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It genuinely surprised me how good it is for a first novel from a dude I've been watching faff about in video games for many years.

Started on his earlier book Fuck Yeah, Video Games which is a kind of autobiography through the lense of beloved video games from his life in non-chronological order, which is very charming and funny.

Also dipping into Mr. Wilman's Motoring Adventure by Andy Wilman - a behind the scenes look at Top Gear and The Grand Tour, which is also pretty funny so far, as well as the Yes, Prime Minister book, after recently finishing the Yes, Minister book - both brilliant adaptations of the TV shows.

I like funny books.
