Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert
5.0
Such a special book! It was nice to read something so aligned with my own creative philosophy while also reminding me of a few things that I’ve needed to hear recently. The good art friend we all need
The Many Deaths of Laila Starr by Ram V
3.0
A colourful meditation on life and death, with references to (and a similar feel to) the Sandman comics. Laila Starr has lost her job as death and is living a mortal life on earth.
It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood
3.0
A brutally honest immersive graphic memoir about depression and creating art to keep going. It mixes formats and styles in a very fresh and interesting way.
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
3.5
A lovely cozy book with loveable and memorable characters. It didn’t feel plot-driven enough to keep me hooked so it took me a while to get through. I loved the Mass Effect vibes.
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
3.0
Super cozy, coffee shop fantasy. Just lovey low-stakes vibes all round.
Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata
3.0
A collection of short stories from Convenience Store Woman author Sayaka Murata. These are fine examples of the themes of sex, fetish, otherness, and taboo that she has explored in her novels.
A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers
3.0
The second in the Monk and Robot series, they travel the world remembering the simple and good things in life from the people they meet. Not as engaging as the first but still delightful & thoughtful
Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity by Devon Price
4.0
Accessible, very readable, and kind of mind-blowingly relatable if you are neurodiverse or suspect you may be. Highly recommend!
