The Weather Looks...
It's raining outside.
It's YA week on Goodreads so I decided to reread "Archer's Goon". I did have plans to reread some DWJ books including this. The YA week just gave me the reason to do it now.
Also, finished reading "Newcomer" early morning today. I liked it. It's another book that features Detective Kaga (from "Malice", which I also enjoyed). At first, I gave 3 stars on GR but decided to change it to 3.5 stars. (rounded to 4). I recalled how I'm dissatisfied with some mystery-themed books I read recently (too wordy and long-winded), so I must give it credit for making me enjoying what I read again.
I don't know since when I have such preferences. As of now, I want to read something written in a style I like and can appreciate. Yes, story is important, but if it's written badly, I don't think I can enjoy the book. Realised many of these in popular books which is one of the reasons I don't tend to read popular, trendy ones. I had read a few in the past that received good reviews on GR but I don't like it.
Skipped knitting yesterday to let my hands rest. Might do some today while watching videos on Youtube.
