Just finished The Power by Naomi Alderman, about how a newfound ability in women turns the world into matriarchy societies. The book started strong and engaging, but didn't reach its full potential and was at times a tad all over the place.
But combining the fast-paced writing and told from the perspectives of multiple characters, I think it's an interesting read. Going to start Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket by Hilma Wolitzer. |

They are! Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket is a collection of short stories that Hilma Wolitzer has written throughout the years. It's been a while since I've read any short stories. I'm only a few stories in and I like the way she writes.
Do you think The Midnight Library is worth a read? I'm thinking that or Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson after this. Snow Crash because it's where the term Metaverse (recently popularised by FB's change of name to Meta) was coined, and it'll be interesting to see how much of what Neal's written almost 30 years ago is still relevant today. |

So The Midnight Library actually walked away with 5 stars. I personally love it. I think it is a book that can be relatable for all walks of life.Do you think The Midnight Library is worth a read?

Never heard of Snow Crash but I might check it out once I am done with the fanfic obsession phase again. xD |

Gonna trust you on this, The Midnight Library it is then. I couldn't imagine finishing books that are only 1-3 stars. So many good books, no time to waste on bad ones.
Any good fanfic to recommend? |

Ah, might explore that some time. Totally new to fanfics. Ended reading Snow Crash now since there's a long wait for The Midnight Library. Surprised at its popularity. |

Archive of our own(AO3) is your best friend.In fact many authors were actually super popular fanfic writers before some publishers scouted them and signed book deals with them. |

QUOTE(The Residences @ Jan 3 2021, 08:56 PM) Just finished reading The Silent Patient. Just finished reading this too, a 7/10 for me. I was expecting a twist because I read your post, lol. I expected too much, expected something like Shutter Island (only the movie, haven't read the book).I didn't expect the twist ending of this book. No wonder this book received tons of reviews from book lovers. Finished Snow Crash prior to this, his Metaverse is awesome, though not much character depth. Even though I give it a 6.5/10, it's worth a read. |

Usually not a fan of biography but i can't put this down.
![]() https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5496811...he-code-breaker Very well written and open up my eyes in the entire RNA research and business. The basis of our current corvid vaccines. And it's also very interesting to learn about how nature works in a molecular level. The only scary thing is that this RNA research is such a NEW research, so new that it's only discovered in the 2000s, and already we are putting human lives to test since covid sorta pushes the timeline. |
