Reviews

Black River Orchardby Chuck Wendig(2.5 ⭐)

I like how the stories of this small town are weaved together but I just thought it went on for way too long.

The Butcher of the Forestby Premee Mohamed(5 ⭐)

A beautiful, haunting dark fantasy novella. Probably my favorite read of 2024

American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Iconby Steven Rinella(4 ⭐)

Fascinating history, love Rinella's books

Himby Geoff Ryman(4 ⭐)

A gender bending, magical realist version of the gospels

The Familiarby Leigh Bardugo(5 ⭐)

My favorite of Bardugo's books, magical realism in Spain during the Inquisition

I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Lifeby Ed Yong(5 ⭐)

Fascinating

Assassin's Questby Robin Hobb(3.5 ⭐)

Great trilogy, kind of sick of the Fitz character by the end of it though.

The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopiaby Ursula K. Le Guin(5 ⭐)

I've read this at least a dozen times

Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgenceby Anna Lembke(3.5 ⭐)

Learned a lot and she cites the research on almost everything, up until the end where she kind of goes off on a less scientific tangent on AA/12 Step programs.

The Siege of Burning Grassby Premee Mohamed(4 ⭐)

Interesting worldbuilding & the practice and problems of nonviolence.
