Picked this up from the local bookstore near my area, and it was interesting! It follows the life of a veteran surgeon in a sci-fi/history-fi (?) world, who struggles with being defamed from the future civil war. I love the narration of the main character. She journals constantly, so you get a good scope of her thinking process. She constantly struggles to do as much good in the ruined state that she's in, and her interactions with her partner later in the book are interesting. The book dives into feeling discrimination at being a black educated woman, and I feel riled up with her whenever it affects the plot (which is a lot, by the way).	Medical school had trained me to be methodical. War had reinforced those lessons. --- The war broke her life into pieces, called her a hero, then dropped her into a dark hole when she proved to be only human.
	Weird addition to this list, but I was in a Narnia kick after rewatching the movies. Reading the book that canonically happens before the first movie, I'm able to appreciate the returning motifs, like the significance of the lantern and the wardrobe (and Digory!). I am aware that the books are Christian-coded, but the way magic is written in this series is so beautiful, I had to read it. Don't think I'm going to be reading the whole series though.	The lamp-post which the Witch had planted (without knowing it) shone day and night in the Narnian forest, so that the place where it grew came to be called Lantern Waste; and when, many years later, another child from our world got into Narnia, on a snowy night, she found the light still burning.
	Harry Dresden is slowly becoming my favorite protagonist in any book ever. He's so tired of magic shit in this one, so his sarcasm gets twice as worse and I love it. I do find myself not as interested in the story as I was in the previous book, just because werewolves aren't a particular interest of mine (except in The Wolf Among Us, but that's a bit different). But the story is still enjoyable! They explore Harry's relationships with more characters, and I love when he genuinely gets concerned for Detective Murphy. They deserve happiness, and this universe doesn't give them any.	"Your face looks like a sack of purple potatoes," Susan said, her dark eyes studying me, the lines in her face deepening. "You say the sweetest things," I mumbled. --- First things first, then. Find out where I was, devise a plan, and get my skinny wizard ass out of there.
	An autobiography of a person with DID. Oscar Isaac actually read this to prep for his role in Moon Knight, which got me to read this in the first place. Each of the chapters are written by different alters of Robert's system. They tell the story of how he progressed from dealing with alcoholism and bullemia, to being able to connect with each of his alters personally.	Alters have enormous differences-in voices, demeanor, literacy levels, even heart rates. Most of all, their have their own identities and their own feelings. Deny that 'realness' and MPD therapy can't work.
	A fun fiction story about Harry Dresden, a modern wizard who helps solve a series of murder cases in Chicago. I find it hilarious that the dates he has with the women in his life always end up shit because of his profession. Also, the way Jim Butcher writes makes me imagine everything like a cinematic experience.	"Come on" I told her. "Sit down. I'll get you a drink while I refuse to tell you anything." --- She held up two fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?" "Fifty," I said, and held up two of my own.
