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!
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 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!

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.
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.
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.
