    Finished Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett. Discworld books are always a delightful read.

    Currently reading London Rules by Mick Herron, which I put down about halfway through, a long time ago, and never got back to. I’m trying to kill time til new bingo starts, and this is going to be the new season of Slow Horses, so I figured now was a good time to finish it. It’s fun.

      How fo the Slow Horses books compare to the show? I’ve been curious to give them a try since I’m enjoying the show so much.

        The show’s done the usual cutting, streamlining, or tweaking that adaptations do, like making Lamb less of an offensive jerk and River a little more competent than in the books. Otherwise, I think they’re pretty similar, tbh; same story beats, very snarky, fairly quick-paced. There’s something about the first 3 that I liked better than the next couple (which is why I put this one on pause), but I can’t put my finger on it.

          Oh interesting! I’m on season 4 now and have been bothered by River’s inconsistent levels of competency. I wonder if he’s more consistent in the books now.
