“The Bullet that Missed” by Richard Osman

 This third book in The Thursday Murder Club series started slowly, but picked up and I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Towards the end, I couldn’t put it down. And surprisingly, it wasn’t the human interactions but the mystery itself that intrigued me. The human interactions are very nice, but they are becoming a bit repetitive. Osman is quite clever in continuously introducing new characters. I do think that I will enjoy Victor, the former KGB chief and good friend of Elizabeth’s. I also like that the book ended by pointing out that in the end, it’s the people we know that matters in life.

“The Great Hunt” by Robert Jordan

 This is where I stop reading “The Wheel of Time” series. Robert Jordan is not a good writer, and his world building is ridiculously complex and convoluted. It does not shine clearly and true, unlike “Game of Thrones” or “Lord of the Rings”.
