I just started re-reading Neuromancer by William Gibson, and I might start reading The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin alongside it.

This probably won’t be popular here, but I recently listened to the audiobook Spare, Prince Harry’s autobiography. I’m not a fan of the monarchy, I think the whole thing is weird and awful.

However, there’s no denying Prince Harry has lived a unique life so I was curious. I thought it was pretty good overall. We’re only getting one side of the story but god his family is fucked up.

Their nicknames for him and his brother, growing up, were Heir and Spare. He was told from a young age that if his brother ever needed an organ or anything, he was expected to step up.

He also grappled with his mother’s death for his whole life and missed her dearly. He made up different conspiracy theories that she was somehow still alive to deal with the trauma.

And the queen seemed kinda ok overall, which surprised me a bit. She had her stuffy downsides but she seemed much better than the fucked up messes that his father and brother were.

Also, being famous from the time you’re born sounds terrible. He inherited a lot of amazing things, but not all sound great.

While it wasn’t the best book ever, it was interesting and I’m glad I checked it out (literally from the library, lol).

Jack Reacher 3 - Tripwire by Child Lee. Solid book, 4/5.
