Just wanna note that there may be typos and such on my World Anvil page, I apologize in advance for that, haha. Working on it as I go, feedback and thoughts are much appreciated. Also a lot of this stuff is just highlights and cliff notes, so not everything is included.

What Remains: Colombia from Home and a Distance by Camilo Aguirre
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

The way the author explores modern Colombian history through oral histories makes this a worthwhile read for both readers familiar with Colombian history & those new to it.

Full Review: shorturl.at/pEJ1G

#booksky
Book cover for Camilo Aguirre’s graphic novel What Remains: Colombia from Home and a Distance features a vibrant red background with a collage of black sketches depicting various people and scenes. In the center, there is a circular illustration showing a person sitting at a desk, working with a pen on a piece of paper, surrounded by books and a laptop. This circular image has a sepia tone, contrasting with the bold red and black surrounding it. At the top, in large white uppercase letters, the title reads "WHAT REMAINS," and beneath it, in smaller white script, it says "Colombia from home and a distance." At the bottom, the author’s name, Camilo Aguirre, appears in a handwritten white script.

Orwell's vision of our terrible future was that world - the world in which books are banned or burned. Yet it is not the most terrifying world I can think of. I think instead of Huxley [...] I think of his Brave New World. His vision was the more terrible, especially now because it appears to be rapidly coming true, whereas the world of 1984 did not. What is Huxley's horrific vision? It is a world where there is no need for books to be banned, because no one can be bothered to read one. ― Marcus Sedgwick, The Monsters We Deserve

What is your favourite kind of antagonist?

Intelligent and well spoken, yet still the worst person you've ever met.

How did Ray Bradbury write Fahrenheit 451 in 1953?! It’s more relevant than ever. Glued to screens, wanting to “feel” intelligent without trying, dopamine hits, anxiety to return to scrolling, it nails so many things! Scarily good #booksky

I'm 60 pages into "Best Offer Wins" by Marisa Kashino and hoping it lives up to the hype.

With Margot going to extreme measurers to get her dream home in the D.C. suburbs, things can only get more unsettling.

Have you read it?

II'm trying to keep myself in the right mindset to get The Sherwood Gambit's first draft across the finish line.

So in service to this effort, and gin up some interest in my second novel, I present for your enjoyment...my Sherwood Gambit writing soundtrack! 🧵
