  • Star Wars: Tears of the Nameless

    Star Wars: Tears of the Nameless

    Another good YA High Republic, deals with the link between the Nameless and the blight. I initially didn’t but have grown to like the Reath and Amadeo characters.

  • The Dark Forest

    The Dark Forest

    Wow, this one was better than the first. I don’t think I’llever forget (spoiler alert!) the destruction of the space force by the droplet… Wow, hubris!

  • Sketching People: An Urban Sketcher’s Manual to Drawing Figures and Faces

    Sketching People: An Urban Sketcher’s Manual to Drawing Figures and Faces

    This book was great the pointers on drawing features, faces, ears, eyes, etc., to drawing in the wild, how to be careful and conscious when drawing “in the wild”.

  • Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

    Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

    This was a good book to start getting some stuff straight in my head about the time I have left in this life and how to use it.

  • Meditations for Mortals

    Meditations for Mortals

    Currently reading…

  • The Quick and the Dead

    The Quick and the Dead

    This is probably the fourth book of Pavel’s that I’ve gone through. I immediately implemented it into my training routine. So far, so good.

  • Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

    Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

    Super dense, very clever, and very thought provoking. I think this will eventually be a book I will buy. One quote that stuck with me, “Not everything that everyone knows is worth knowing.”

  • The Coddling of the American Mind

    The Coddling of the American Mind

    Great book, I have a lot to think about, and this read me to quickly check out Antifragile. There are a couple quotes from Marcus Aurilius and Van Jones that stood out to me, especially, “Be the fire that welcomes the wind.”

  • Path of Vengeance

    Path of Vengeance

    Great book, I really like seeing the path (no pun intended) of Marta Ro, I’d like to know more, how share and Mari San Tekka paired up, etc… Gotta research

  • Canto Bight

    Canto Bight

    This was a lot of fun. I love “side stories” in Star Wars, and the storylines and voice acting were on point here.
