2026

1. Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu (2020)6.8/10. I enjoyed the narrative at first but the resolution at the end of the courtroom act was essentially "assimilate into white society so you aren't racially profiled" which is silly. Asian Americans shouldn't have to adapt to fit white culture.
2. Who is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews (2021)6.7/10. Narrated by Thérèse Plummer. A good read with a fun concept but the twist was a bit too predictable for me. I already knew what Maud Dixon had planned after the crash occurred. I also didn't think the change of the main character at the end seemed realistic.
3. We Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson (2016)9.0/10. Narrated by Gibson Frazier. This is such a beautifully written story. This book started as a sci-fi thriller, became a depression survival story, then transitioned into a love triangle romance. Hutchinson's vocabulary and imagery are superb and kept me wanting more.
4. Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie (2023)7.2/10. Narrated by Gregory D. Barnett, Sam Slade, Kimberly Bonny, Louis B. Jack, James Lewis, and Jay Aaseng. A fun creepy story and Jake was my favorite character - for some reason he reminded me of one of my coworkers. I only wish the story was scarier. To be fair, there's nothing scarier than a cop with a gun.
