Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de

I liked in, In fact I really loved the IDEA of this book. A group of robot duplicates of SG-1 employed by the NID to try to steal technology from worlds the SGC has said can't be done. There are like six different versions of these duplicates each with slightly modified code some work better than others, and one goes completely rouge.
The execution, however, left me wanting. It got really confusing having several characters named "jack O'Neil" they tried to help you tell the difference, like Jackson Alpha, and Dan and one named O'Neil talking to another named Jack, but it wasn't consistent and I frequently forgot where I was, particularly with them switching time lines back and forth, I kept having to go back to the beginning of the chapter to find out where in time and space we were at. At least they had those clues …

At least they had those clues built in. I thought it might make a good movie or T.V. episode, but I'm not sure how they'd do the ending in a way that would be both believable and not vomit inducing. Alas we'll never know.

I listened to the Audiobook of the original version years ago. My wife bought me this dead tree expanded and updated version for Christmas as it was about the only book on my LibraryThing wishlist she could find at half-price books.

From number one king of comedy David Walliams comes his first Christmas caper – packed …
Don Walliams the self-proclaimed king of comedy was unsuccessful at getting me to laugh even once. I managed one smile at the idea of the major staying at home and yanking on his own Christmas cracker.
The story starts off well enough, a 1980s boy named Elvis wants nothing more than to see Santa, which apparently in England requires a very expensive ticket to stand in line at the department store. This santa ends up being his estranged father who isn't the busy rich businessnan mom said.
He goes back to the toy store on Christmas eve to see if it really was dad, and to buy mom a christmas present. He gets locked in the store and a group of thieves are trying to rob it like Home Alone 2. Three hours of bad Elvis Presley jokes later the real father Christmas saves the day, and several …

He gets locked in the store and a group of thieves are trying to rob it like Home Alone 2. Three hours of bad Elvis Presley jokes later the real father Christmas saves the day, and several points that could have easily been wrapped up were not and specifically referenced to in case there was a sequel. The world would be better off without one.
The high full cast audio book is the only saving grace. I understand it's a middle grade reading level, but you can make good humor and good writing for 4th graders.
