| Title | By | Notes | Finished |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels | India Holton | In progress | |
| Order of the Sinking Star Game | Jonathan Blow | In progress So far, it's amazing. | |
| The Master and Margarita | Mikhail Bulgakov | In progress Very good so far, but the characters are confusing. | |
| Kindred | Octavia E. Butler | A modern day Black woman falls through time to a Maryland plantation in the early 1800s and lives through the atrocities of slavery. Never felt close to Kevin though. Rufus, her counterpart, was a real asshole. Steal: How vivid it was to be the character and see both worlds. | Sep |
| Nightbitch Movie | Marielle Heller | Unremarkable. The editing and directing were really strange and took me out of it. Felt like a Lifetime or Hallmark original movie. | Sep |
| ShÅgun Show | Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks | Sep | |
| The Ministry of Time | Kaliane Bradley | Abandoned Put it down midway. It glossed over all the fun parts and didn't have much of a sense of humor. | Sep |
| The Satsuma Complex | Bob Mortimer | A detective murder mystery. I read it in Bob Mortimer's voice and that's what made it funny. It's very Bob Mortimer, which is what you want from an author. | Sep |
| The Will of the Many | James Islington | A classic book talk book. Super promising start, I was hooked and couldn't put it down, then it petered off at the end and felt like the author punted all the explanations into further books. Steal: The magic system. Really good, but underdeveloped. | Sep |
