grateful for the books that made 2025 a little less hard

Missed my reading wrap-up for September and have been too busy to read as much as usual, so here’s a combined September/October wrap-up. Lots of litRPG, and James S. A. Corey’s Caliban’s War (The Expanse #2) was definitely a highlight!

forgot to hit the second “yes i really mean it” button to confirm my audiobook library loan renewal so it just returned a book i’m halfway through and now there’s a nine-week wait 😫
i never realized that "getting lit", as in getting drunk, dates back at least to the 1930s
“You could have phoned him last night.”
“I could not. I got lit last night. This is the first job I’ve had in a month.”
“Got any expense money left?”
“Enough for a couple of days. I’ve learned self-control.”
This month's fiction: very gay, very outer space.
Highlights included Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove, The Alliance series by Elaine U. Cho, and Charlie Jane Anders' Lessons in Magic and Disaster.

I didn't realize both Charlie Jane Anders and Annalee Newitz had new books coming out, and they both look so good!
