I just really love to read (yes, audiobooks count). I cry easily so 80% of what I read is uplifting / informative / HEA otherwise I'd struggle to function. From NZ

  • Looking for Relationship Psychology Recommendations

    Hoping to explore some non-fiction books that address the psychology behind relationships. Looking for anything that explores romantic and family relationships, attachment theory and the interaction of different personality types in relationships. I've only read very minimally so far so really open to all recs even if they vary!

  • Sci-fi for beginner recs🌌🖖

    Hi! I really want to read some sci-fi books this month because all I've been reading so far were romance books. I wanted to change pace and try reading a sci-fi book. I was hoping any recommendations to a sci-fi newbie like me 🫶

  • Free Audiobooks on Spotify

    Hey, just wanted to let y'all know that Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a free audiobook on Spotify. It's pretty good quality and I find the narrator's voice fitting for the aesthetic of the novel. Feel free to comment any other free audiobooks you've found so we can start a little collection here

    Thoughts from 50%

    I went into this completely blind with no knowledge at all, and it is so brutal and well written. I am invested.

  • Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

    Thoughts from 42%

    I've read Sapiens (one of my favourite books!) and Homo Deus so I'm not unfamiliar with Yuval Noah Harari's writing + political positioning but I do think I was naively looking for a slightly more impartial recount of Information Systems & Networks. I like this book so far and will continue to listen to the audiobook, but does anyone have any recommendations on other system history books they enjoyed? Love to learn!

    Audiobook

    For those who don't know, McCurdy narrates the audiobook version of this book. It's devastating. I highly recommend.
