Working From Home
Overall, this was a very unique book that was told in the perfect way. It was a clever way to explore the scarier side of technology, as well as being a hilarious way to tell a story.

Every World's Stage
This was a fun book to read. I always enjoy seeing how people reimagine Shakespeare, especially when it's being done in a more inclusive way. As with every anthology, there were some hits and some misses, and some of them did feel quite young (not a critique, just an observation), but overall it was a good reading experience.

AI Doesn't Hide Lackluster Writing, It Emphasizes It
Had I come across this book naturally, I would've just passed it on. This book was really just not for me, and I'm really disappointed by whoever made the cover decisions. As it was, the book was underwhelming and didn't leave a lasting impression.

Consider A God Who Loves Us
I've never really read a whole devotional book before, so I don't know how this would function for someone looking specifically for that. As just a book, though, I enjoyed this one. I thought the author provided a refreshing and unapologetic perspective that a lot of modern Christianity is missing.

The Book About Loving Books
Overall, this book was fine. I'm glad I read it, because it was a sweet story that was clearly written by a lover of a books, which I appreciate. But it's certainly not my favorite book ever.
