Finished When Moon Hits the Eye by John Scalzi.

The book is divided so that each chapter is a new day, and it’s from perspective of new people. So there is no story of certain people, rather it’s about the “event” and we see things from different people’s point of view throughout the book.

I didn’t know that, so it took some getting used to, but once I had come to terms with that it was a very interesting book.

Highly recommended for soft sci-fi fans.

    It sure is a project. Sometimes I read another fiction book in between. And then I can start on the next book. Usually it comes back to me what previously happened. Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into the compendium. Keep on reading!

      Ah, so you keep reading WoT almost book after book. I read book 6 one and a half year ago and started book 7 a couple days ago. In the meantime I probably read a dozen other books in different genres. That’s why I don’t remember.

      I forgot that

      Tap for spoiler

      Rand was abducted by Aes Sedai

      in book 6. That seems important, right? ;)

      I don’t know if there’s an iOS counterpart. It’s a super useful app.

        Well, there have been times I wanted to abandon the series. Now I decided I want to finish the entire series. I already have the remaining books on my ereader, that helps.
