Read PALADIN'S HOPE by T. Kingfisher if you love doctor dramas, *buddy-cop narratives, mysterious corpses, secret powers, vegetarians, being trapped in a maze, definitely not kissing your hook-ups, cross-cultural exchanges of knowledge, deadly obstacle courses, pretty men & apples.

*A gnole definitely says ACAB, tho

“ I huff a laugh and roll my eyes. You’re the worst. “You’ll love me someday.” One of my steps falters. Today is that day. Maybe yesterday too. And the day before that. Maybe for a while, in fact. I can’t tell exactly when it started, but I don’t think it will ever stop. ― Brynne Weaver, Butcher & Blackbird so so good

10 Book Recs...

Last night I hit 100 books for my #2024Reads (goal is 120), so in honor of that, here are ten recs:

John Carreyrou, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup (nonfiction but reads like a thriller)

Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These (tender and haunting and has found a forever place in my heart)

Martha Wells, Network Effect (maybe the pièce de résistance of the Murderbot Series?)

Michael Lewis, Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon (sobering. And weird)

Louise Glück, The Seven Ages (one of my favorites)

George Eliot, Daniel Deronda (uneven, but with flashes of greatness)

J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan (better read as a grown-up)

Elizabeth George Speare, The Witch of Blackbird Pond (a classic)

C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (timeless)

Pierce Brown, Light Bringer (but only if you've read the whole series, of course)

Books Read in 2024 #50 - “Napoleon” by Andrew Roberts

This staggering 800 page biography is an unapologetically admiring examination of one of history’s most iconic leaders. A man whose ideas and influence still impact the modern world. A brilliant general on the battle field, an unparalleled administrator, yet also an opportunist with a thirst for power.

The amount of research and material presented here is exceptional, and it presents some fascinating insights into the way that Napoleon functioned, and interacted with those around him.

But at the conclusion I now know a lot more about what Napoleon did, but not I’m not really any clearer on who he was as an individual.

I love you,” I whisper. “You could throw my entire world into upheaval, and I would still love you. You could keep secrets, run a revolution, frustrate the shit out of me, probably ruin me, and I would still love you. I can’t make it stop. I don’t want to. You’re my gravity. Nothing in my world works without you.” ― Rebecca Yarros, Iron Flame my heart is so full (first book of 2024)
