Mad Ship
By Robin Hobb
Complex characters: That's what makes a book, for me. Plot is necessary and a good one is obviously best. Believable world building, whether fantasy,...

Read, Reflect, Connect

Mmm... Brains!
Despite the spooky season, this isn't actually a book list about brain-eating zombies. These books explore how the brain works (and when it doesn't) and what that tells us about our own sense of self. Are we really who we think we are?

Slow Horses (Deluxe Edition)

By Caro Claire Burke
