Made For People

Made for People

Solid advice on making and maintaining friendships as an adult, but it didn’t exactly light a fire under me. Felt like it missed how much your specific community shapes your ability to connect. Good tips, but motivation? Meh.

The Spy Coast

The Spy Coast

Retired spies team up to figure out who’s after one of them. Decent concept, but the New England setting kills the “beach read” vibe. Maybe a “rocky coast in November” read?

Six of Crows

Six of Crows

If Game of Thrones and Ocean’s 11 had a book baby, this would be it. The plot wandered a bit by the end, but I’ll probably read the sequel, so that says something.

How Not to Diet

How Not to Diet

Dense but well-researched and practical. The rules at the end are great, and if you’re not into reading a textbook on food, the chapter summaries work like built-in CliffsNotes.

The Wreath

The Wreath

Not a heart-pounding thriller, but beautifully written with characters I actually cared about—which is my baseline test for fiction. Worth the read.
