Artemis
Andy WeirI'm also listening to 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir on audio. It's pretty good so far, it's not 'The Martian', but it is certainly better than 'Artemis' so far. I also think Wil Wheaton would have been the perfect narrator. #FridayReads

The Remaking
Clay McLeod ChapmanFor #FridayReads this week, I just started 'Ghost Eaters' by Clay McLeod Chapman as probably my final spooky read for 2022. I really enjoyed the metanarrative nature of 'The Remaking', so I'm excited to see what's in store here.

To the Lighthouse
Virginia WoolfFor the first #FridayReads of the year, I'm reading, 'To the Lighthouse' by Virginia Woolf. It's for our staff book discussion next week, but I've always been a big Woolf fan and haven't read this yet. Really enjoying the deep introspection into little moments.

The Haunting of Hill House
Shirley JacksonOoh. Adding this to my Spooky Reads plan this year. Maybe I should also reread 'The Haunting of Hill House' too. I remember adoring that book when I read it long ago. Haunted houses are my real horror jam. https://t.co/DWp71pqB37

Tell Me an Ending
Jo HarkinThis week I'm nearing the end of 'Tell Me an Ending' by Jo Harkin. This has been a fantastic light-SF exploring the role memory plays in ourselves, our relationships, and our society. The disparate stories are converging and I can't wait to see what results. #FridayReads
