Outlander book 9 and bits and pieces of book 6 in preparation of season 6 finale on sunday may 1. cannot wait for this episode!!

How do you like Outlander? I've been considering reading them - I have two friends who are AVID readers. one is a massive Outlander fan and the other can't stand Outlander haha. getting mixed vibes here! would love your take/synopsis.

for me, I've been super stressed out so i've been reading "easy reads". A lot of Taylor Jenkins Reid (Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was great!), Colleen Hoovert, etc. I'm flying through those books, and they're not all that particularly good. will definitely be going back through and trying out some of everyone's recs!

I have decided to re-read Pride and Prejudice again! I love this book so much.

I made my way through The Southern Reach trilogy over the past couple of months. It took a long time because I didn't buy all three at once (and actually each installment I bought in a different state). I really liked the atmospheric horror vibe and found them to be pretty easy reads.

So I'm not currently reading it (because I finished it in one sitting) but it was The Walkthrough: Insider Tales from a Life in Strategy Guides by Doug Walsh. It was short (only 150 pages I think?). Basically, a memoir about this author's life while he was employed by BradyGames writing strategy guides. It was soooo interesting and I think would likely appeal to a lot of people here! I was avid about strategy guides in the pre and early internet days and they're still some of my most treasured books. It's actually motivated me to start looking for them at used video games stores again. It was FACINATING to get a behind the scenes look at what goes into writing one. I only wish it was longer!!! The author has written over 100 strategy guides and I would've like to see him give details or anecdotes about each book. I found myself getting side tracked quite a bit looking up games he talked about that I wasn't familiar with.

Always check your local library first! But in case they don't have it, the ebook was only $3 (USD)

I finally finished The Anthropocene Reviewed recently. I really took my time, sometimes waiting months between reading one essay and the next, with other books in between. I have poles of different to-read books all over my apartment, but haven't figured out which one feels right to pick up next.
