3) Strange Houses by Uketsu
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I don’t really have a lot to say here. This was a fun little book to listen to during work. It was a little mysterious and a little sad as most Japanese writers tend to be. Nothing wrong with it just no wow factor.

2) Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I fear the words I use would not carry the weight of importance that this book deserves. You should read it. Better yet you should listen to it. Hopefully we all learn something from it.

12) The Message by Te-Nehisi Coates
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is my first experience reading Te-Nehisi Coates. This should be required reading in schools. The part about Israel/Palestine really hits hard in these days. It’s all so sad and so unnecessary.

10) Four Ruined Realms by Mai Corland
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The lies are bigger and the plots more treacherous when your favorite backstabbers return in the mind-blowing sequel to instant New York Times bestseller Mai Corland’s epic romantasy, Five Broken Blades.

6) A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The third book of A Song of Ice and Fire and this was a fantastic read. It’s a massive book but worth it. The character work that the author does is amazing. It really feels like a History’s guide to Westeros

4) Overheard by Maya Banks
⭐️
This was short enough to finish and I still didn’t want to. She fucks her friends. That’s basically it. Nobody in Louisiana knows how to fuck except her friends. So she starts dating her best guy friend and he fucks her brains out.

3) The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I thought it was going to be some follow these rules to crush your competition bs but it’s actually fairly sensible. Examples could use some updating.

2) Rise of the Elgen by Richard Paul Evans
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the second book in the Michael Vey series. It is a high stakes action packed sequel to the first book that picks up right where the first one left off and doesn’t take its foot of the gas.

8) A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I had a lot of fun reading this book. A detective mystery in a clockwork Egypt filled with magical beings, what’s not to love. So many books out recycling same ideas it’s great when a unique concept comes about.

Day 11 Moniquill Blackgoose has one book so far and in that book she wrote so skillfully creating both an interesting world and an interesting character. I cannot wait for more.

Day 10 is an author I got exposed to through Star Wars. Delilah S. Dawson wrote Inquisitor and after reading it I’ve become a fan. Her writing just scratches an itch.

Day 9 has created such a unique and interesting series. Amie Kaufmans Illuminae series is a fantastic story that also makes me dread the data age.
