Ready Player One

I have been putting off this book review for a long time. It is not because I did not want to write it, but because I had to process a serious hangover of disappointment. Let me be perfectly clear: that disappointment has absolutely nothing to do with Ready Player One* itself. The first book is an absolute blast. The problem is that my initial euphoria was completely hijacked when I eagerly jumped into the second book*, only to abandon it halfway through.

Lord of the Clans – Warcraft

Look, I’ll be honest with you: I’ve been slacking a bit lately. The World of Warcraft universe is absolutely massive and completely overwhelming. A lot of these stories get a bit dry, feeling heavy and told a million times over. But I still set a personal goal to read through the Warcraft books in chronological order just to finally get a clue about what’s actually happening in Azeroth.

Survival, Crocs, and a Talking Cat: DCC Book #1

Look, if you want my deep dive on whether this entire series is worth your time, go hit up my other article first. But if you are just looking for a clean, spoiler-free rundown of the absolute madness that goes down in book one, you are in the right place. Grab your coffee, lock the door, and let me break down how the world ends and the real game begins.

A Direct Look at The Midnight Library

I just wrapped up The Midnight Library*, and I needed to get these thoughts down before they drifted away. If you have been tracking the literary circuit lately, you have probably seen this one bounced around quite a bit. It is a book built on a massive, fascinating premise, but the execution left me feeling incredibly conflicted.

Make Time

Let’s be real: we all know that feeling of being constantly busy while simultaneously achieving absolutely nothing. You are moving, you are working, you are “doing,” but at the end of the day, you can’t point to a single thing that actually feels right. I have been stuck in that cycle lately, which is exactly why I picked up Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky.

The Manhattan Mayhem

Manhattan was my home base in 2018. It was the most stressful, high-octane year of my life while I was living and studying in the city that never sleeps. Honestly, I still find myself falling back into that 2018 bubble, reliving the grind of the world’s busiest borough.

AUDIBLE vs. LIBRO.fm

It feels like there is always so much going on and a constant stream of new things to read or hear.
Even as a dedicated fan of a certain podcast app, I struggled for a long time to keep up with their latest updates. I told you before that I use SNIPD* to listen to podcasts.

Show Your Work

This is one of the books that changed my life the most. Or maybe not my life, but definitely my creative mindset.
It completely shifted how I think about sharing things on the internet and encouraged me to keep going with this blog… or actually start it the right way.

Of Blood and Honor

In my attempt to figure out the correct chronological order to navigate World of Warcraft and understand the complete story, the first book I would read and have on my list is: “Of Blood and Honor” by Chris Metzen himself.

The story takes place several years after the Second War. Tirion Fordring, a highly respected Paladin of the Silver Hand and Governor of Hearthglen, is living a quiet life. That changes instantly when he encounters an old Orc named Eitrigg in a dilapidated ruin.

World of Warcraft Books

World of Warcraft is a game that has been with me my entire life. I have never really stopped playing, and I probably will not as long as this game exists. Unfortunately, the older you get, the less time you have for it.

Fourth Wing – Worth reading?

Thanks to my TikTok algorithm, I stumbled upon Manacled, a Harry Potter fan fiction that takes a rather different turn from the original storyline. It also features a lot more sexual content than J.K. Rowling’s universe ever did.

Manacled – Harry Potter Fan Fiction

My first book out of the BookTok universe. It was very different from what I’m used to reading, but I decided to give it a try because I grew up as a huge Harry Potter fan. I really loved the books as a kid, and even today, they are my go-to audiobooks when I need something to listen to while falling asleep.
