You Are Not Alone

by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen

Finished 2023-05-07

I enjoyed it but it’s a little unsatisfying once it’s all unfolded. basically: “oh no, they’re gonna frame her—but they failed, the end”
Still Life

by Louise Penny

Finished 2023-04-23

Honestly I’d rate this book higher if it weren’t for the weird side plot with the junior detective. She seems to be on the spectrum, but she’s played as this weird, angry “kids these days only care about themselves” character that seems to have no purpose and amounts to nothing other than weird, hateful scorn. I’m probably missing some subtext but it felt very out of place.

The Way of Shadows

by Brent Weeks

Finished 2023-04-08

Honestly I tend to enjoy Brent Weeks books and this was no exception but I have to knock it down a little because of several over-the-top “men writing women” bits and some implied or explicit sexual violence that really didn’t need to be there.

Legends & Lattes

by Travis Baldree

Finished 2023-03-27

This came highly recommended from a few people but it didn’t do much for me. It was fine. I listened to it on audiobook and like six of the nine recurring characters are pendry/hendry/tendry or something? Why do that?
The Future of the MindThe Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind

by Michio Kaku

Finished 2023-03-27

Some really interesting stuff that, over and over, descends into silliness that is not just goofy in how it relates sci fi to real world tech, but extremely credulous or over-ambitious and not at all wary of the dangers of the things it’s proposing. The actual, scientific, brain stuff is interesting. The “maybe we could recreate The Force from Star Wars” stuff feels amateurish and goofy.
