I hope your reading and writing ventures are going well.
I often find that the more I read — in all varieties and mediums — the more inspired I am to write. I’m wondering if this is the case for you, too. So…what are you currently reading? Novels, short stories, nonfiction, other Substack newsletters — let’s hear it all!
Currently, I’m halfway through It by Stephen King. I’m also about to dive into Brandon Applegate’s Those We Left Behind: And Other Sacrifices. I’ve recently signed up for some other fiction newsletters on Substack and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying them. If you haven’t had a chance to check them out yet, here they are: LEAVES by Sharron Bassano, Future Thief by Brian Reindel, and A Story a Week by Robert Potter.
I hope your week is filled with a lot of reading and writing.
I mostly read non-fiction. Currently I’m reading The Secret History of Mac Gaming by Richard Moss, which throws a spotlight on indie devs of the 80s / 90s who made strange and wonderful Mac games.
I'm currently reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" I'm looking for good standalone sci-fi so if you have recommendations let me know 👍 I recently read another one of the "Best Of Fantasy and Science Fiction" anthologies. I love short stories.
I’m reading “Knuckleheads” by Dan Antion, one of the bloggers I follow, additionally, we are reading “Atlas of the Heart” by Brene Brown in my faith-based reading group a church. Both are really good in totally different ways. I am the same way about reading and writing. ☺️
I usually read several books at once. Right now I'm enjoying volume 2 of the graphic novel adaption of Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow, Season One of the The Beam by Sean Platt and Johnny Truant, and Ada Limon's latest poetry collection the Hurting Kind.

I just finished Adrian McKinty's thriller, The Island. And thrilling it was!
