Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

More Doctor Who, with the Tenth Doctor and Rose. Another book that really reads like an episode and gives some nice back story on Mickey and Rose’s Mom and the time she was away. It takes place in London of our time, and involves a ship that sunk and sailors that drowned. However, these sailors are appearing to their families and pleading to save them from the Feast of the Drowned. Time for the Doctor and Rose to investigate and save Rose’s family and friends. Some nice monsters and heroics from Rose and the Doctor. A lot of fun, four out of five stars.
