This is a log of books I've read. I started this site in februari 2024, so that's when this log starts too.
There's no full rating per book but I've marked my favourites/recommendations with a ⭐️
The Lightning Thief
Finished around 26 februari.
I started reading this because I was enjoying the show and it did not disappoint. Enjoyable YA, snackable like popcorn. Will probably read more.
Dungeon Meshi (Ryoko Kui) ⭐️
Finished somewhere in March.
I'm obsessed. I enjoy the dungeon crawler setting, the loving food porn, the unexpected depths (both dungeon-wise and plot-wise). My favourite characters are Falin and Mithrun.
If Found, Return to Hell (Em X. Liu) ⭐️
Finished 20 March, novella.
Absolutely fucking delightful. Left me with the warm fuzzies. I'm a sucker for found family, especially if there's some gay/gender shit going on. Love the worldbuilding too, would easily read more in this world.
The Paleontologist (Luke Dumas)
Finished 27 March.
Horror/murder mystery. Enjoyable little spooky dinosaur romp but it didnt blow me away. More on the mystery side than actually scary. I wish to gently shake the main character, geez. Enjoyed myself, overall.
Project Hail Mary (Andy Weir)
Finished 1 April.
I do enjoy some near-future (or alt present) space mishaps. I liked the Martian, this one scratched the same itch.
Witch King (Martha Wells) ⭐️
Finished April 14.
I love Martha Wells and I loved this. It made me feel some hard to describe emotions... Mostly melancholy for things I don't understand and haven't experienced. This books feels like a partial eulogy for someone I don't know but still mourn for. Gonna have to sit with that for a while. I enjoyed how it just... didn't explain so many things.
The Splinter in the Sky (Kemi Ashing-Giwa) ⭐️
Finished April 22
Lovely political intrigue anti imperialist sci-fi, with similar vibes as the Teixcalaan or Imperial Radch series. Love that slow burn.
Artemis (Andy Weir)
Finished April 24
Another fun sci-fi romp with improvised science.
A Theory of Haunting (Sarah Monette)
Finished April 27
Novella, horror, haunted house. This one was legitimately scary. Enough left vague for it to be very menacing. It's left me with a disquieting sense of being watched. The language use is very rich and dense.
The Salvation Gambit (Emily Skrutskie)
Finished June 13
Delightful little heist/action sci-fi novel. We've git a time-lost ship, a menacing AI, and some very fucked up found family. Throw in a lesbian romance, sincere character growth. Very fun.
Lady Eve's Last Con (Rebecca Fraimow)
