I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Loved the book. There was lots of science, but it was explained well enough that it wasn't an issue. There were also certain things which may not feel very probable, but it's a science fiction, so I didn't care about that, but I can see some people having problem with that.

Started a manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, Volume 1. Just started it yesterday, after finishing Project Hail Mary, and have almost finished it. I have read a couple of small manga before, but it's my first physical one, so enjoying that. Though, when I got it, I didn't realise JJK is still an on-going series. Personally I prefer something that has finished. Ah well, already started it, so just going to read them slowly now.

Still reading The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. The book has been a lot more helpful that I expected it to be. I never thought about the "why" part much, at least haven't done so in a while. So, all the talk about mindfulness and chapters about living the intentional life are helpful.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

Wolves and the River of Stone, the second book in this urban fantasy series about a necromancer and his buddies. It’s….not great but I’m having a good time with it!

Urban fantasy about a necromancer and his buddies, the concept sounds fun. Why do you say it's not great? Bad writing?

Yeah it reminds me a lot of the first Dresden Files; good ideas and world building but you can really feel it’s the authors first books. I’m hoping the quality picks up a bit as he finds his voice because I’m overall having a good time!

Interesting.

There are 19 books out, so author must be doing something right. I would love to hear your impressions after you have read a couple more books.
