  • Several People Are Typing by Carl Kasulke 4/5 stars Genre: Humour, Workplace Positives: + Ridiculous, unconventional, and funny! + Told in the format of workplace messenger chat makes it a quick read! + Weird in the best way. + Sneaks in a surprisingly cute romance too. - Still no idea what was happening but I‘m happy about that! Negatives: - You can’t achieve much depth with such a short format.

  • Project Hail Mary by Andy Wier Mini Review 4 of 5 stars Genre: Sci-Fi Positives: + Entertaining, Easy reading. + Plot is packed with twists and turns that keep things interesting. I won’t say more to avoid spoilers! Negatives: - Way too much hard science for me. - I found the main character a little grating. - All characters either share the same personality or are a thin stereotype.
