This quote from Viktor Frankl referring to surviving the holocaust… 🥺

Finished reading: The Aeronaut’s Windlass by Jim Butcher 📚

This is the first book I’ve read by Butcher. It was a fun read with pirates and cats! Humor and action abounded. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Finished reading: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros 📚

This was an entertaining, coming of age, story. Plus it has dragons… so that’s fun.

It was a bit more risqué than my usual read. Those scenes were easily skipped though…

Finished reading: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson 📚

A fun fish-out-of-water coming of age story. It felt like Red Rising meets Top Gun. I am looking forward to book two!

Currently reading: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson 📚

I just started this the other day and so far it’s really fun. It feels very Red Rising but with a female protagonist.

Finished reading: Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman 📚

An immensely enjoyable read. Yes they are violent and there’s quite a bit of salty language. But, they are humorous takes on culture that make a point without being overt.

Finished reading: Isles of the Emberdark by Brandon Sanderson 📚

The Cosmere is just so much fun. This book, particular struck a chord. The idea that only a story can hold a god, whew.

“The churches are disappointing, even for most believers. If Christ brings us new life, it is all the more remarkable that the church, the bearer of this good news, should be among the most dispirited institutions of the age. The alternatives to the institutional churches are even more grossly disappointing, from TV evangelists with their blown-dry hairdos to California cults led by prosperous gurus ignored in India but embraced in La Jolla.”
