    158: Shakespeare from Stage to Novel to Screen in "Hamnet"
    2025/12/16
    Hamnet is a reimagining of the life of William Shakespeare's wife and children. It's an interesting historical fiction thought exercise, and its new movie adaption is drawing in new readers like crazy. Or maybe it's that Paul Mescal is playing the lead...

    157: The Role "Dungeon Crawler Carl" Plays in LitRPG
    2025/12/09
    One of the best "hear me out..." books may be Matt Dinniman's "Dungeon Crawler Carl". It's a LitRPG that reads like a video game but is somehow still funny and fast-paced. But is the world built for every kind of reader?

    You know how the song goes. Lyla Sage writes western romances, and TikTok girlies love a good themed romance. "Done and Dusted" will either make you want to move to Wyoming, or never go there at all.

    154: The Incredible Path of "Alchemised"
    2025/11/17
    Plenty of fan fictions have been traditionally published lately, but none took quite the rewrite "Alchemised" did. This one tops over 1,000 pages and had to be purged of its previous world. So is it worth the read? (Major trigger warnings)
