What I'm Reading  

What did you recently finish reading?

 Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World by Rutger Bregman
Most recent non-fiction read. I find his ideas super compelling.

A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske
Queer historical fantasy that I ended up really enjoying! Super fun, and I'm excited there will be more in the series.

Cooper Point Medical Book 3 by Heidi Cullinan
Disappointing conclusion to a sub-par MM romance series, from an author I usually adore.

The Railway by Hamid Ismailov
Most recent read for my Around the World Reading Challenge for Uzbekistan. WAY too many characters and stories to keep track of and I was just confused the whole time.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelous
Most recent audiobook listen, and unpopular opinion, but I thought it was underwhelming. I was surprised at how meh the author's narration was, and I hadn't realized the book only covers her very early life, which just isn't what I'm most interested in.

What are you currently reading?

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power by Shoshana Zuboff
Current non-fiction read.

Point of Dreams (Astreiant #3) by Melissa Scott
Current queer fantasy series read! Continuing to quite enjoy this world. :D

What do you think you’ll read next?

The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born by Ayi Kwei Armah
Next read for my Around the World Reading Challenge for Ghana.

Page & Sommers Series by Cat Sebastian
Next MM romance read.

That first title sounds interesting. I'm always wary of toxic positivity, so a "realist" version of optimism sounds good to me.

Zuboff is brilliant; I really need to read that book.

Oh yes, it's definitely not a toxic positivity kind of thing! I really enjoy his books for an optimistic view of what the world and humans are capable of doing, all backed by research and data! And I'm really enjoying the Zuboff book, though it's quite long and intense!
