Rated The Watchers 2/10

If you cut out all the unsubtle, repetitive, declarations about the character's personality traits, this book would be a novella.

Rated Dungeon Crawler Carl 9/10

It was goofy, incredibly ridiculous, and one of the few books that had me literally laughing myself to tears as I read.

As the friend who recommended the book said to me: It reads like a ridiculous TTRPG campaign from a super-twisted GM with raunchy humor.

I love my High Fantasy series like LotR, The Wheel of Time, The Cosmere, etc. But sometimes a good bit of humor fantasy is in order. This hit the spot so much better than I expected it to.

Rated Androids: The Team That Built the Android Operating System 10/10

An interest POV into the early days of Android development. I appreciated the details and the interview-driven narration.

Reviewed The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind

<div>The book is structured as a list of facts, not very engaging. Writing was good and explained concepts in an easily-digestible way, but did not kept me engaged.</div>

Rated Carl's Doomsday Scenario 8/10

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but not quite as much as the first. There were the typical hilarious parts that made me laugh loudly as I was reading, but it didn't seem quite as engaging as the first. I can't quite put my finger on "why."

Alas, the show WILL go on, because I'm quite invested in the future of Carl, Donut, Mordecai, and Mongo.

Rated Swing Time 8/10

There's so much going on in this story it's hard to do it all justice - it starts with the treacherously close friendship of two biracial girls growing up in London and spirals out into the wider world, taking in Parliament, the Gambia, and pop stardom even as the memory of their friendship has a gravitational pull over the whole story. Really well-done in terms of rich characters, pacing, emotional depth, political insight and vivid detail; there's maybe 10% too much plot but it still all hangs together well. Highly recommend!
