What I Just Finished Reading
White Male Stand-Up by Alan Davies. This was a bit hard going because it was quite a bot of "I did this, and then I did that". I did get into it after a while, but his journey into comedy wasn't really that interesting.

Doctor Who: The Adventures After and Doctor Who: The Adventures Before. These are two books of short stories set just after and just before an episode. They were fine although I don't really remember a lot of the episodes in question, although I'm not sure how much difference that made to my enjoyment of them.

The Last Word by Elly Griffiths. The last of the Harbinder Kaur books, although she's hardly in this one, it's mostly the three characters that were introduced two books before. Which was fine because I really liked them and really liked this book. But it was ended in such a way that I can see that there won't be any more with these characters.

Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. I reserved this ebook at the library and have no idea why. It was separate stories of people doing a bit of time travelling in an odd cafe in Japan. It was alright, but not particularly exciting.

Now You Seen Them by Elly Griffiths. Not the next book in the Brighton series - that one is in my library but someone else has it. So I skipped a book, found that this one skipped ten years and it seems like a lot happened in the previous book. I still liked this, but I missed the 1950s.

What I'm Currently Reading
Comedy Rules by Jonathan Lynn. This book is very hard to characterise because he's writing rules of comedy and then an incident that highlights it. Some of them are random and some of them go through a period in his life when he's performing with the Cambridge Footlights or writing Yes, (Prime) Minister. It's interesting, but feels a bit bitty to read.

What I'm Reading Next
The Midnight Hour by Elly Griffiths. The last library book I have in my pile and the next in the Brighton series.

I've probably got 'Before the Coffee Gets Cold' in my saved list on my e-library account! There does seem to be a lot of odd cafes in (fictional book) Japan, lol.

You're right - I've seen a lot of coffee shop in Japan based books, although this is the first I've read.
