A cricket somehow made its way into the clock screen area of my microwave. It continues to live despite numerous uses of the microwave. I do not know how it got there. I do not know how to get it out.

Why did the end of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance feel like whiplash? I was happily stabbing my way through dungeons, and suddenly? Credits?

ANNIHILATION
- Jeff Vandermeer
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Picked this up for its cool cover art and Ray Bradbury vibes from the blurb. It was an interesting read, but very clearly a woman written by a man. Kind of had classic sci-fi novella energy.

THE BETRAYALS
-Bridget Collins
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I cried, I laughed, I sighed, I cursed, I became so infactuated that being in these pages felt like waking, and the real world a dream.

THE STARLESS SEA
- Erin Morgenstern
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This was a bit of a sandwich: first 10% was ok, it was interesting but still warming up; middle 80% was incredible and I couldn't put it down; last 10% was ok, I'm conflicted by the ending and choice of POV

THE NIGHT CIRCUS
- Erin Morgenstern
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
While the beginning of this one took a bit to get into, the middle and end were captivating, and I was completely enthralled

THE HITCH-HIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
- Douglas Adams
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
A quick and enjoyable read but feels more suited to the radio format. The pervasive 'quirkiness' came across as 'pick-me' rather than well executed dadaism.
