#36: If the previous book had an odd number of chapters, read a book with an even number of chapters, or vice versa.

I Am Not Spock by Leonard Nimoy (also the November random book pick). Read more... )


#37: Read a book that was added to your TBR more recently than the previous book.

I had the opportunity to do something funny here, but it wouldn't have been fun )

So instead I read Watson Is Not an Idiot: An Opinionated Tour of the Sherlock Holmes Canon by Eddy Webb. Read more... )


#39: Read a book with a lower StoryGraph rating than the previous book.

A Bid for Fortune; or, Dr Nikola's Vendetta by Guy Boothby. Read for historical interest: the diabolical Dr Nikola is one of the earliest examples of a mad scientist criminal mastermind with a world-spanning organisation and a back-up plan for every occasion and a cat that sits on his lap while he ponders his evil schemes. Also, the author's an Aussie, and parts of it are set in Australia. Read more... )
