Book 1

Wool by Hugh Howie

I saw this book being recommended on Twitter and the premise intrigued me so much I bought the entire trilogy.

I fell in love with the world-building and the mystery of the Silo, even if it was a bit slow.

Highly recommended!

[Francesco Ramazzotti @FranciRam]

@hell_let_loose Correct decision. Game looks super fun but it's clear it needs more optimization. I'm happy to wait for a smoother launch experience!

Reading wrap-up for May!
A nice variety of genres and lengths this month 🙂

[Francesco Ramazzotti @FranciRam]

@SophiaNarwitz This series really shines on audiobook. The jokes and wacky characters don't translate too well in written form imo.

Book 12

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

Read this for the book club where I work. Happy to have tried something outside my preferred genes. A simple yet entertaining novel about being a woman in STEM in the 50s and 60s in the USA.

Book 1

Jade City by Fonda Lee

This book really clicked with me. A character-focused gangster story blended with fantasy elements set in the fictional city of Janloon. Plenty of scheming, betrayals and twists made me eager to keep reading!

Book 11

There is no Antimemetics Division by QNTM

I was completely hooked for the first 3/4 or so of this book. The premise is unique and QNTM fully embraces it in his writing. Unfortunately, I did find the last 1/4 to be the weakest but this one is definitely worth a read!

Reading wrap-up for April!

Work kept me busy and my two reads for this month didn't blow me away so, overall, kind of a meh month.

[Francesco Ramazzotti @FranciRam]

@sollitaire_ Ooof this one is my GOAT but it's definitely not for everyone

[Francesco Ramazzotti @FranciRam]

@SophiaNarwitz Perfect timing, I started it yesterday! Vibes are definitely different but enjoying it so far.

Reading wrap-up for March!
Consider Phlebas was almost a DNF for me, I struggled to finish it.
Dark Matter, on the other hand, was a very enjoyable read!

[Francesco Ramazzotti @FranciRam]

@QTRBlackGarrett Incredible book. Sucks you in from the first page and doesn't let go. I read it 2 years ago and I still think think about it.

[Francesco Ramazzotti @FranciRam]

@SophiaNarwitz Great book, hope you enjoy it!

Heartbreaking 💔

You could feel her passion in every video, and she was able to make complex games feel fun and approachable for all. My condolences to her friends and family.

[Hooded Horse @HoodedHorseInc]

We are so saddened by Katherine of Sky's passing.

Katherine was a fantastic indie creator & we're so grateful she chose to cover our games. She often reached out to us just to share encouragement or kind words about our projects.

We appreciate all her work and will miss her dearly.

📖 Current Read: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

I've been craving something weird and fast-paced!

[Francesco Ramazzotti @FranciRam]

February reading wrap-up.
Some good variety this month!

RIP 💔

Hyperion is my favorite book of all time and I just read (and loved) The Terror in October. Terrible news.

[_DavidMorrell @_DavidMorrell]

My dear friend & incomparable author Dan Simmons died Saturday from a stroke at age 77. He defied literary norms, exploring historical fiction, horror, crime & other genres. His must-read titles include THE SONG OF KALI & HYPERION. He was one of a kind.
