Finished reading: The Prisoner of Limnos: A Fantasy Novella in the World of the Five Gods (Penric & Desdemona Series, Book 6) by Lois McMaster Bujold 📚
I really enjoy these books. There isn’t a lot of lore that you have to remember between installments.
Finished reading: Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It by Cory Doctorow 📚
It’s one thing to know that things are messed up and another to see it all laid out in print.
Finished reading: Penric’s Fox: A Fantasy Novella in the World of the Five Gods (Penric & Desdemona) by Lois McMaster Bujold 📚
I’m going through these like candy!
Finished reading: Penric and the Shaman by Lois McMaster Bujold 📚
The story has magic, but it’s not about the magic. It’s about friends that we make along the way. This one is about grief, guilt, and what our legacy in life is.
Finished reading: Penric’s Demon: A Fantasy Novella in the World of the Five Gods (Curse of Chalion Series) by Lois McMaster Bujold 📚
This one was nice and short. I finished this one and completed the second one in the series in the very same day.
Finished reading: The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk 📚
I read this on recommendation of an Incomparable episode. The whole time, I was thinking about how a parent could treat their daughters in this manner. The saddest part is that this is probably the most realistic part of it.
Finished reading: The Non-Designer’s Design Book by Robin P. Williams 📚
I read it as IndieWeb Book Club and it was suggested by Al Abut.
It’s a pretty quick read.
Finished reading: How to Think Like a Roman Emperor by Donald J. Robertson 📚
I did this one as an audiobook and I think I might check it out from my library again sometime next year. It was a great introduction to stoicism. Some parts do seem to drag on though…
Currently reading: How to Think Like a Roman Emperor by Donald J. Robertson 📚
I’m at 33% and it’s more of a history of Stoicism at this point.
Finished reading: Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green 📚
I really enjoyed this book and I think current events have made it very relevant.
