  • 15-Minute Drawing

    15-Minute Drawing

    Definitely worth reading and practicing.

  • The Fine Art of Small Talk

    The Fine Art of Small Talk

    Definitely worth the read if you’re feeling like you need some pointers. Debra has a natural flow to conversation.

  • Read This if You Want to Be Great at Drawing

    Read This if You Want to Be Great at Drawing

    Great encouragement and examples to get going and make you think. Plenty of variations on a theme.

  • From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi

    From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi

    These have each been very good, fun, and insightful books. I love getting the in between stories. The Ewok stories were especially fun.

  • Us Against You

    Us Against You

    Really great followup to Beartown. So emotionally involving, I always feel like I need a nap after these books, very good!

  • Death Troopers

    Death Troopers

    Get the audiobook, the sound production is creepy and great! I love these mashups and so glad the guy who did this also did Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!

  • Having People Over: A Modern Guide to Planning, Throwing, and Attending Every Type of Party

    Having People Over: A Modern Guide to Planning, Throwing, and Attending Every Type of Party

    Part manual, part reflective memoir, a good book to go through and think about how to have people over, how to be a good guest, and what the whole point is (see “The Long Game” chapter)

  • Rites of the Starling

    Rites of the Starling

    Still a good series, looking forward to the next one.

  • Rule of Two

    Rule of Two

    A really good follow up to Darth Bane, so good to keep seeing the development of the rule of two, and how perfectly suited Bane and Zannah are to it. Can’t wait to read the third!

  • Tiny Experiments

    Tiny Experiments

    A little predictable, but a good reframing of approaching life in tiny PACTs and experiments.
