Couldn't get into this as much as the first one, I think mostly because the audiobook narration switched from Stephen Fry to Martin Freeman, which I didn't enjoy as much. I got into the story more in the second half!

The Doomsday Date: World Book Day 2024 by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

lighthearted

I read this on my Kindle and it was far shorter than I thought it'd be because the last half is a preview of the author's next book, so I thought I still had 50% left but it was over! Read the whole thing on a 10-minute bus journey. Cute story but I wanted more!
