Everything All at Once by Bill Nye. It's a great guide on how to make a positive change in the world from a scientific perspective.
Though it was written in 2017, I'd say it is more relevant now than ever.

Last book of the stormlight archives by Branden Sanderson.
Really good, but for some reason I'm having a hard time finishing the last one 😅.
Just finished The Cutting Room by Louise Welsh. It was 3/5 for me. Pretty dark, explicit. The pitch was interesting to me but I didn't feel it delivered too well.
I'm currently reading The Thursday Murder Club and it's a delight at far, 37% in. No final judgement yet based on that.
I'm reading Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series. They fit modern fantasy into a British police procedural framework. What makes them exceptional are the characterizations, plus the wit and snark of the dialog. They are both good stories and a lot of fun to read.
Moon of the Crusted Snow and the sequel Moon of the Turning Leaves. Post apocalyptic novel following an Anisinaabe community. Well written and captivating stories.
I’m busy working my way through Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen series.
It’s a very dense set of books with a ton of lore, but I’m enjoying it a lot (I’m at the sixth one so far).
The only downside is that I read them on an e-reader and can’t quickly look at all the detailed maps and glossaries whenever I want.
The Experimental Log of The Crazy Lich by Angry Squirrel
It's a combination of xuanhuan, comedy, and political drama. Keep in mind that it's looong - I've been reading it since March, finished 215 chapters out of 841
Trocken (Sober) by Daniel Wagner. Written in german, I don't know if there's an english translation. It's about himself struggling with heavy alcoholism and his way out of the addiction.
The Wild Robot Protects
Not quite as good as The Wild Robot and The Wild Robot Escapes, but the entire series is an excellent set of children’s novels.
Kangaroo apocrypts.
Yes. They are fun. BUY THE KANGAROOS! JOIN THE A-SOCIAL NETWORK! Spread the Jo-jos!
im reading slobberknocker by jim ross. very interesting behind the scenes of the wrestling business
Reading Frostbound Queen. Um, idk if I'd recommend it. It's ok. Very "BookToc".
Slowly making my way through They Though They Were Free by Milton Mayer. Haunting comparisons to today.
The Hydrogen Sonata by Iain M. Banks
The Golem & The Jinni by Helene Wecker
I just started Excession!
I'm partway through The Have and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultra Rich by Evan Osnos. It is a collection of essays originally published in the New Yorker dissecting the culture and fads of the modern Gilded Age.
I also STRONGLY recommend the Culture series by Iain Banks. It is perhaps the most realistic and well though out sci-fi utopia.
Project Hail Mary Andy wier returns to the roots of The Martian. Also, movie is coming next spring about it.
Dark Matter Some deep physics stuff occurs, but the story can be followed with no knowledge of super position. Also released as a mini series on some streaming channel
The Great God Pan, which is a terrifying novel by Arthur Machen.
A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley.
It's Not You by Dr Remani Durvusala, which is about how to escape from a narcissist and is the most helpful book.
Lita Ford's autobiography Living Like A Runaway.
