I stopped using bookwyrm and then the amount I was reading started to fall. I am back now with the hope that I will get back to reading more.

I'm a college student studying to become a librarian. I generally have an interest in books on technology, activism, and fantasy. I am open to trying other types of books if they catch my interest.

I was at a bookstore that was sadly going out of business, and found a couple books that looked interesting. I've read about half the book now, and it has been quite interesting.

Sy Montgomery: The soul of an octopus (2015)

It was an enjoyable read. It wasn't much of an exploration of consciousness like the title suggests. It was more the story of the author discovering her love of octopuses.

I love the world and a lot of the side characters, but I don't like the main character. It feels like he is constantly digging himself into a deeper hole and it seems like his life and personal life only get worse. He has frustrated me quite a bit, so while I enjoy the world building and the side characters I will take a break from reading the series.
