Rewelacyjna lektura, a zdobyta przypadkiem, bo potrzebowałem drugiej książki do promocji "2 za 1". Mamy tutaj samo mięso, praktykę i pokazanie praktycznie każdego aspektu mogącego wpływać na opóźnienia projektów IT (i to zwykle nie podczas ich realizacji). Dla każdego, kto obcuje z projektami IT, także klientów.

I read Cool Machine by Colson Whitehead. The last of his trilogy that traces the rise of a black entrepreneur who likes a little crime on the side through the decades. You feel totally immersed in the exciting and grubby place NYC was back then. @bookstodon #bookstodon

Zaprawdę dziękuję Marcie (w_sercu_ksiazki) za polecenie tej serii, bo rozumiem już, skąd zachwyty. Świetna powieść wcale nie taka młodzieżowa, z duchami, humorem i wiktoriańskim Londynem. Pierwszy tom był dobry, ale drugi jest lepszy.

New U.S. books of interest for today, October 13, 2026:
SPOKE, Kat Leyh. Believe it or not, this is a cozy post-apocalyptic graphic novel.
OFF THE RESERVATION, Stephen Graham Jones. This is the sequel to THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS, which came out in 2020. Did anyone know that there was going to be a sequel?
THE TULIP POPLARS, Silas House, author of the CliFi near-future dystopian novel LARK ASCENDING, which I highly recommend. Looking forward to this new historical novel.
AS YOU WAKE, BREAK THE SHELL, Becky Chambers. Always with a positive and uplifting message, this is her first book in a new series.
ODETTE RISING, by Julianne Edwards. This novel may be our sleeper hit of the year.
New feature on the blog: special topic collections!
With 539 book reviews so far, finding one that interests you has become a challenge. So, some years ago I made a subject archive. And then the problem repeated itself...
With more than 100 book reviews on evolutionary biology, finding one that interests you has become a challenge. So, I now added special topic collections for certain topics: https://inquisitivebiologist.com/subject-archive-evolutionary-biology/
Have fun exploring the revamped subject archive: https://inquisitivebiologist.com/subject-archive/
Romance apologies almost always arrive as a big speech after the third-act breakup. I'd trade most of them for one plain line in the middle of the book: "I was wrong about you." No rain, no grand gesture, just someone changing their mind out loud and then actually acting like it.
What's the best apology you've read in a romance?
All Them Dogs. Djamel White.
You are an Irish gangster (junior grade), and on return to your hometown after some trouble, you find…more trouble, not the least of which is an unlikely secret “workplace” romance that just complicates everyone’s gangsterish plots to kill each other.

Five stars:
The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher (2019) takes inspiration from Arthur Machen's horror short story, "The White People" (1904). Rather than quote it directly, Kingfisher wrote what she could remember of it, thus giving an already eerie story that disjointed, uncanny feeling of a found text or found footage horror.

Took a break from the 1245 page book, to read this little ol' 65 pager.
"Mestra," by Madeline Miller, is a short story recently published as a standalone.
This fable regards the twin evils of greed and arrogance. I had never heard the story before and was glad that I knew nothing going in. 4 ⭐️
finished reading Dungeon Crawler Carl
Goddammit Donut.
That was fun. After reading so many "isekai" novels and manga, I'm a little burnt out on the whole litRPG concept. But this book was sitting there on the shelf with multiple staff recommendations, so I figured why not at least try the first volume. And I'm glad I did. It doesn't just check off a list of tropes like so many other stories, but rather does its own thing within a similar framework. I'll be picking up the second book next shopping trip.
No nie, nie zażarło u mnie. Powieść trzeba docenić, bo przenosi nas w czasy, które rzadziej znajdują swoje miejsce w książkach kryminalnych (szczególnie tych lżejszych), ale główna bohaterka za bardzo mnie denerwowała, co w połączeniu z innymi rzeczami osłabiało moją radość z lektury.

I've finished: On Such a Full Sea by Chang-rae Lee
A mix of a US and Chinese dystopia.
Melding familiar and unique post apocalyptic society tropes.
I was especially impressed with the wall painting sequence.
Fan is no heroine, she is just a determined girl moving through a harsh world. She breaks out of the rut set for her and that's enough.

Mexikid Dreams: A Graphic Memoir by Pedro Martín (2026) is the follow up to Mexikid (2023). This one focuses on Pedro's plans to escape the need to help his family pick strawberries.
