To earn five stars from me, a book has to be very hard to put down. Since I mostly read at night, I read more fiction because it requires less brain engagement from me. I adore non-fiction books that improve my life, but I save those for day time so I can take notes and pay attention better.



I've collected my favorite reads from 2015-2020 on this Amazon shopping list. (Price stays the same, but I collect a commission.) Share your favorites with me so I can add them to my To Be Read list!

the Wompus Stompus story read-aloud book . I wasn’t expecting much, but it was surprisingly clever and funny, and the rhythm made it fun even as an adult

I just started this memoir that was recommended through a rabbit hole I fell into on the Mollie Nelson Wompus Stompus author website (don’t even ask how I got there 😂), and I’m loving it—but no way I could handle it at night.

I recently read a book by expert in machine intelligence John Ball that completely changed how I think about human cognition vs artificial systems.
