finished reading Enshittification by Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow: Enshittification (Hardcover, MCD)

Enshittification: it’s not just you―the internet sucks now. Here’s why, and here’s how we can …

Felt a bit repetitive in certain sections, but mostly just found myself nodding along and mentally shaking my fist while listening to the audiobook. Can't wait to see what happens in countries that repeal anti-tampering laws that are similar to section 1201 of the DMCA.

finished reading Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson: Tress of the Emerald Sea (2023, Doherty Associates, LLC, Tom)

1 New York Times Bestselling author Brandon Sanderson brings us deeper into the Cosmere universe …

This was a yummy snack compared to BrandoSando's mainline series novels, and I loved all the Princess Bride references.

started reading Daja's Book by Tamora Pierce (Circle of Magic, #3)

Tamora Pierce: Daja's Book (2000, point)

While at Gold Ridge castle to the north of Winding Circle, Daja and the three …

My cousin recommended Circle of Magic, and I recalled liking the series, but the farther I get in the more I'm not sure if I actually read this book or some other book by Tamora Pierce. Maybe I only read the first one in the series as a kid? It touches on some pretty heavy themes for having been published by Scholastic, I always associated that publisher with kid's books.

finished reading Lirael by Garth Nix

"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."

Good! Can't wait to read the rest of them. I don't know if I'll be able to restrain myself from doing so before seeing the show though since it's already out now...

finished reading The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle, #2) by Ursula K. Le Guin (Earthsea, #2)

Ursula K. Le Guin: The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle, #2) (Paperback, 2001, Gallery / Saga Press)

Liked it better than the first one, curious to see where she takes the next entry in the series, but also kind of dreading it because my cousin didn't like the third book as much as the first two.

finished reading Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #2)

Matt Dinniman: Carl's Doomsday Scenario (Paperback, 2021, Independently published)

The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can't get enough. The …

I keep insisting LitRPG is a trash genre, but I keep listening to these audiobooks pretty quickly so I guess I must be entertained. My only complaint about this one is that we only went through one dungeon level instead of two like the first book.
