This account is mostly to track books I've read, fungi I've seen, and (hopefully) keep track of friends as other social networks break.
Feel free to suggest non-fiction books or scifi/horror/speculative-fiction/adjacent short stories.

Self-help. How to know if your an introvert and how to network as an introvert. More reassuring than groundbreaking. Excellent if you are an introvert feeling pressured to act like an extrovert. Otherwise some good tips on boundaries and preparation.

Cozy fantasy. A runaway fortune teller, a warrior, a former thief, and a travelling baker look for the warrior's missing daughter. Well telegraphed happy ending for people who just want to read something pleasant without surprises. Everyone gets happily ever after. Low stakes.
