Book title: The Girl with a Thousand Faces Author: Sunyi Dean Rating: 4.25/5 What a clever book. The way it plays with timelines and perspectives keeps changing how you see everything. Also, there were a few proper "HA" moments. And as someone who writes, I loved how much it plays with the craft itself to tell the story. Also, ghost cats!

Manuel in a recent blogpost : I also don’t consider myself a writer. Which is funny because when I get asked to describe what I do the most succinct definition I often use is “writer of code and words” since that is what I spend my time doing in front of this screen. But reflecting on the use of these words made me wonder what even is this thing I’m doing here on this site. I find this intriguing,…
Has everyone recently started vibe-coding their personal websites? The number of blogs in my RSS feed that have suddenly started spamming dozens of old posts all at once is getting a little suspicious. But hey, coding is a solved problem now, right?
Book title: When We Cease to Understand the World Author: Benjamín Labatut Rating: 3.75/5 What a strange book. The further it goes, the more this "non-fiction" book starts making things up, slowly turning into fiction. I guess that's what happens when we cease to understand the world?

Book title: The Treasure Hunters Club Author: Tom Ryan Rating: 2.25/5 This book was not it. Mediocre writing (with one mistake that I just couldn't forget), a cheap twist, and while I wanted to know how the story ended (worth .25 of a star), it was just not that good. Meh! (But apparently a sequel is coming later this year, and I guess I'll end up reading that one anyway.) Where to buy The…
Book title: The Poet Empress Author: Shen Tao Rating: 6/5 I originally picked this book because of its beautiful cover. I did not expect it to be the best book I read this year. What a story! What character development. What a world. Imma call my therapist now. Where to buy The Poet Empress by Shen Tao: Bookshop

Book title: The Courage to be Happy Author: Ichiro Kishimi Rating: 3.5/5 What a weird book. It is written as a dialogue between a "philosopher" and a "youth" (who's a bit of a dick). I read The Courage To Be Disliked a while ago, and remember that book more fondly, but in essence both books are about Alfred Adler"s worldviews. But I just resonated less with this one. Also, there is apparently a…
