Why didn't I post anything last month? Well, it has to do with NaNoWriMo going on, because whoever said that it's possible to live a life, participate in NaNoWriMo and still read a ton is magic.

It also has to do with this book, which somehow kept going and going and going until I just about wanted to throw my kindle out of the window. If this book hadn't been provided to me via NetGalley in exchange for an honest interview, I might have just dnf'd it.

Which doesn't meant that it's bad, just that it was really not to my taste.

When I started studying computer science - over 6 years ago now, I'm getting old - the professor who held the introductory lecture recommended reading A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Since then, the amount of times the number 42 has been called out in lectures when we were asked to give random numbers has risen to the uncountable.

If you've ever read A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you'll know that when I compare Battlestar Suburbia with it, it will end up being a fun, if weird read. For me, this book did not disappoint, and while I did receive it via NetGalley in return for an honest interview, I will be picking it up as a hard copy as well.
