I'm finishing a novel called Rainbow Black by Maggie Thrash, which is partially about the Satanic Panic.

Just reading Suvremene komunikacione tehnologije i mreže (en. Modern Communication Technologies and Web) by William A. Shay. It is a bit outdated, but still interesting!
Nothing. My eyes got infected.
Sorry to hear!
I only use that as an excuse anyway. I just don't spend enough time reading properly.
I got The World Atlas of Coffee by James Hoffman as a gift, so that's what I'm reading right now. I'm really liking it, it's got the same style of prose as his YouTube videos (unsurprisingly) and has lots and lots of great photos from around the world. In lieu of actually travelling it's the second best thing I suppose.
Dark calories, a interesting book converting the history and current publications of seed oils
The secret history of by Donna Tartt
Are You Even Human by Thundamoo. Really liked it, it is incomplete and may not be popular enough to tempt the author to conclude it on royal road
Pilot by will wight, incredible author, one of my favorite in fantasy today, but the book was one of his weaker entries imo
Currently on "Shards of Earth" by Adrian Tchaikovsky as my leisure read. It starts fast and, so far, keeps the throttle mashed. It seems like garden-variety space sci-fi so far, but Tchaikovsky is one of the only fiction authors to surprise me in the past decade. Worst case scenario, I had a decent ride. But I'm secretly going to get my mind blown.
I read through the Penpal creepypastas. Gave off some really unsettling vibes that will stick with me.
