It took me several years and a dozen people to convince me to read a non-fiction self-help book about habits, but compared to other books, it was more structured and actually helped me build strong habits.

The 5th book in this series took me some time to mentally prepare to start it, because I didn't like Nesta in previous books, and it took me about 200 pages to finally start liking her. At the end, she became my favorite character, as she had grown a lot and her story became more beautiful and complete. Now I am ready for the new books this year :)

This year is definitely the year of reading H.G.Wells. The book's events were familiar to read, as I had already watched the movie adaptation with Tom Cruise, but it was definitely different, as the book is set in the 1800s, when people used horses for transportation and had not even invented the plane.

Reading this novel was interesting, but I needed to forget all the sci-fi novels I had read to truly appreciate H.G. Wells and his vision of space travel and Martians.

I am usually a big fan of Agatha Christie, but The Secret of Chimneys has not impressed me much. Maybe because it didn't include either of my favourite detectives, Monsieur Poirot or Miss Marple, or maybe because the story didn't grab me much.

I got lost in the complicated names and was confused about the Memoirs; I still have no idea what is behind them. There is supposedly a TV Show on Netflix, so I need to survive the second book in the series, and then I can judge how good the TV show is, but no high expectations.

My Husband's Wife I finished in a heartbeat, intrigued with lots of twists and suspense.
