Technical tinkering
“Hands-on Rust: Effective Learning through 2D Game Development and Play”
What I’m reading
“The Well of Ascension”, Brandon Sanderson (audiobook). Book 2 of the Mistborn Saga.
“Sleeping Giants”, Sylvain Neuvel (audiobook). SciFi that centers around discovering pieces of a giant robot told via a series of interviews. Works well as a full cast audiobook, similar in structure to Max Brooks’ “World War Z” and “Devolution”. I’ll be seeking out the later books in the series.
-
“The End of the World: Stories of the Apocalypse”, multiple authors. Mixed bag, which I guess is to be expected for an anthology like this.
-
“The Sentinel”, Lee Child and Andrew Child.
In progress:
- “Winterborne Home for Mayhem and Mystery”, Ally Carter.
- “The Hero of Ages”, Brandon Sanderson (audiobook).
- “Digger Unearthed: The Complete Tenth Anniversary Collection”, Ursula Vernon.
- “Mapping the Interior”, Stephen Graham Jones.

Technical tinkering
Slowly working my way through “Hands-on Rust: Effective Learning through 2D Game Development and Play” by Herbert Wolverson. I generally reach for Ruby first when there’s something I want to build, but having familiarity with other languages has a number of benefits.
What I’m reading
“Zombie Bake-Off”, Stephen Graham Jones (audiobook).
“Side Jobs: Stories from the Dresden Files”, Jim Butcher.
In progress:
- “The End of the World: Stories of the Apocalypse”, multiple authors.
- “Winterborne Home for Mayhem and Mystery”, Ally Carter.
- “The Well of Ascension”, Brandon Sanderson (audiobook).
