Rated Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care 8/10
<div>In this book's conclusion, Mariame Kaba writes:</div><blockquote>There are times when I feel overwhelmed about what to do, where to start. The problems seems so big and so intractable. In those times, I ask myself a set of questions that serve as guideposts to ground me:<br>1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself?<br>2. Who's already doing work around this injustice?<br>3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support and help them?<br>4. How can I be constructive?</blockquote><div><br><br>Everywhere seems to be throwing up their reading lists now that could be titled "Read This Because Who Know WTF 2025 Will Bring," and it can be hard to know which books are worth your time. This is worth your time.</div>

<div>Having female characters make unlikable decisions, as well as adding depth to complex male friendships — without resorting to caricature for anyone — is something I will always be a fan of. The subjects of doubt and colonization are handled in a way that seems believable for these characters, though some of the supporting cast seems to be there only so our main people can see their own reflection. Which is realistic in its own way, but not always necessary. I also wished some of the queerness in certain characters was less danced around, even for characters who don't quite know what to do with such feelings. Still, there's a lot about this book I liked.</div>
Rated LaserWriter II 10/10
<div>What an amazing, inventive little book about a specific time and place, back when being into tech was weird, but helpful, instead of monetized and massive. Loved this.</div>

Rated UNIT: Extinction 8/10
Interesting way of bringing back the Nestene, and Jemma Redgrave is excellent. Took me a bit at first to get into it, but I liked this story a lot better than some other Doctor Who-related audio dramas.

Rated Life & Times of Michael K 6/10
<div>I liked this, but it was not love. Nothing particularly wrong with the book, the writing is good, and I understand thematically what the story was doing, but it's not necessarily the sort of thing I'd have picked up on my own had I not been reading this for a yearly challenge list (this particular entry was for "Award-winning book from the year you were born"). And that's fine! You may like it better, and it's short.</div>
