Good luck! I hope you can enjoy the books this time around! I've really enjoyed getting into heads of characters through the books. It's been the best part as someone who is a fan of the games. Even Geralt's thoughts offer so much insight to his character.

The actual narrative becomes more linear and apparent by book 3. I feel like 2 was still a little exposition heavy. It's full of really great world and character building, but I felt like the first two books were the slowest. Every book after has made me "WHAT HAPPENS NEXT??" after finishing it

Deconstructing Racism, Barbara Crain Major & Joseph Barndt A good 101 on anti-racist community organizing and an overview of both Reconstruction eras. There's a focus on the church but I do think the advice provided can be used for any community organization. #booksky

Baptism of Fire, Andrzej Sapkowski LONE WOLF GERALT IS A MYTH AND THIS BOOK SERIES IS WOKE. Also, I love you vampire doctor surgeon... The Character of all time. I am kissing him on both cheeks. #booksky

REAL! I'm convinced they're either posers or lack media literacy because it was obvious in the games but the books practically hit you over the head with Ciri being The Most Important Character To Ever Exist, while Geralt is A Guy. A cool guy who I adore, but A Guy nonetheless.

Why Fish Don't Exist, Lulu Miller I picked this up because I wanted another nature book, but this book had less to do with nature and more to do with combating pessimistic nihilism. I DID enjoy it, it just wasn't what I thought it was going in! Go audiobook for a fun bit at the end. #booksky

American Rapture, CJ Leede This book was solid, but not for me. The Apocalyptic Survival Horror genre of book is exhausting to me. I appreciate what the author has to say and the actual writing was decent, the narrative just fatigues me is all! #booksky

Time of Contempt, Andrzej Sapkowski I would fold laundry for Little Horse. This book just makes it obvious that every 'fan' pissed Ciri is the protag of Witcher 4 is a dingdong. Geralt may be the protagonist, but Ciri is the Main Character. #booksky

This Thing Between Us, Gus Moreno What started out as a book that was FINALLY succeeding in creeping me out ended on a brand of nihilism I find kinda boring. Overall it was fine. I really liked the first two parts! #booksky

The Dream Thieves, Maggie Stiefvater The homosexual subtext in this book is so overwhelming it makes actual Gay Sex look heteronormative. Getting perspectives we haven't gotten before was wonderful. #booksky

The Haar, David Sodergren Supremely satisfying read. Very sentimental, often silly, super wince-inducing. Lots of gore in this one, so skip if that's not your thing. #booksky

The Raven Boys, Maggie Stiefvater The prose? Evocative. The characters? Delightful. The plot? Intriguing. Already started the second in the series. #booksky

Another Appalachia, Neema Avashia Apparently I am gravitating toward memoirs from children of immigrants that focus on identity. I liked this one! Each chapter can be read as a stand alone essay, but together they're an interesting vignette of Avashia's life. #booksky

Forest of Noise, Mosab Abu Toha "At 5th grade, I visit the school library. On a wall by the door, a poster claims, 'If you read books, you live more than one life.' Now I’m 30 & whenever I look at faces around me [...] on each forehead I read: 'If you live in Gaza, you die several times.'" #booksky

The Accidental Ecosystem, Peter S. Alagona After reading about urban hawks using traffic patterns to stalk prey, I wanted to learn more & was lucky enough to find this in the library. It's such a deeply interesting topic, & I really like how the book handled it. #booksky

Glad my little ramblings can help inspire!! The Witcher series has been SO much fun to experience! I knew I would like it, but I'm surprised by just how much. I'm on a waitlist for The Time of Contempt right now that I probably won't get off of until September but I cannot wait to continue it!

Eat the Ones You Love, Sarah Maria Griffin A Modern Gothic Saphic 'Little Shope of Horrors'. I was hooked the moment the narrator changed. There's so much I liked & so little character limit. It's a short read, so of you're into Botanical Horror, give it a go! #booksky

Tastes Like War, Grace M. Cho Labeled as a non-fiction memoir but even without knowing the events have been contested by family it reads like a well researched fiction. Lots of 'might of' & 'could have' & suddenly vivid memories from ages that shouldn't be. Interesting read though! #booksky

Emperors of the Deep, William McKeever The book was interesting. I was hoping for more facts ABOUT sharks & less about the various industries that harm them. It felt like the majority of the book was dedicated to knowing your enemy instead of learning about beasts. #booksky

Wolf Worm, T. Kingfisher I'm a recent fan of Kingfisher's work & this book gives me more of the same. The writing is witty and charming. I'm particularly fond of Kingfisher's character writing. I'm having way too much fun with it all to be scared by the horror, but I'm not mad about it! #booksky

This isn't a recommendation- I would never blindly recommend All For The Game- but this series makes me so insane every time I reread it I want to physically eat the books. NO ONE is doing it like Nora Sakavic (genuine & lovingly) and I cannot wait to read the Sunshine Court with my bestie. #booksky

The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic Re-read of the worst book series ever (lovingly). Kevin Day is a shounen sports anime protagonist stuck in a mafia crime drama, and the book is about his supporting cast member, Neil Josten, who is the stupidest man alive (affectionate). #booksky

Ring Shout, P. Djèlí Clark There's something poetic about turning the 'The Birth of a Nation' into a dark magic ritual designed to bring monsters into this world. This novella's monsters and mythos were INCREDIBLE, and every character was written well. Action sequences were great too! #booksky

What the Chicken Knows, Sy Montgomery I know I said I appreciated cheeky science writing, but I also appreciate the sort of emotional writing Sy does as well. Things that don't only foster education and understanding, but compassion for the beasts we share this planet with. #booksky

Plight of the Living Dead, Matt Simon I love when science writers have a sense of humour. The entire book is so much fun to read! I think it's good to have a laugh when talking about something as horrifying as behavior altering parasites. #booksky

How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder, Nina McConigley I liked the way it was written. McConigley does a good job putting you in the space of an 80s childhood, a CSA survivor, and a brown child growing up in a white small town. #booksky
