My work is up and down like a yoyo at the moment, to help avoid doom scrolling during quiet patches I’ve decided to start reading (nobody at work is going to pay attention to plain text on my screen, we’re all in the same boat).

I’ve got a copy of Naomi Altman’s The Power to start off with … any other recommendations?

(Obviously can’t be anything smutty or very funny because I need to be low-key, and lighter stuff would be easier to pick up and put down when I have actual work to do)

Thanks in advance :-)

    I just finished The Hollow Places, it was enjoyable but I got snagged on the number of bad decisions the protagonist made when they were then pointed out explicitly as being bad decisions in the text, rather than just rolling with it.

    I think writing first person is very difficult though!
