“Honey From Heaven” at the Salish Lodge.
Not going to lie, it was more fun than I thought it would be!
Year in books for 2023
Here are the books I finished reading in 2023. A decent mix of sci-fi, non-fiction and fantasy. Oh and one MURDER! 😀
Finished reading: The Lost City of Z by David Grann 📚
The history was fascinating but I was sort of put off by the abrupt ending. 3 stars.
Finished reading: Ascension by Nicholas Binge 📚
Enjoyed this. Had similar themes to The Three-Body Problem. Could very easily see a film adaptation of this. Lots of interesting themes on the intersection of science and religion. 3.5 ⭐️
I have a small announcement…
Finished reading: Fairy Tale by Stephen King 📚
Enjoyed it. 4 out of 5 stars.
Finished reading: Foundation by Isaac Asimov 📚
I’ve read this before but started watching the show and couldn’t remember the details so decided to re-read it. The book gets five stars. The show gets 2 stars. 😞
Finished reading: The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu 📚
Really enjoyed this. Didn’t realize it was a series when I started though. Whoops! Also didn’t know there’s a Netflix adaptation in the works. Bonus!
Finished reading: The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown 📚
This was somewhat “bro-ish” at times, but in the end it proved to be a somewhat sweet story. I also enjoyed the history that was interwoven through it.
Finished reading: When We Cease to Understand the World by Benjamin Labatut 📚
This is quite simply an amazing work. It’s short but it is so amazingly packed. I will be thinking about this for a very long time.
Not everyone knows that my dad was a first responder to 9/11. Yesterday, I found this picture of him at ground zero that I hadn’t seen before.
Finished reading: Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz 📚
I loved Magpie Murders and this was a sensational sequel. A very fun read.
