Can't help but be disappointed by the Netflix #3BodyProblem series. If you've also read the books, you'll know what I mean.

Read Cixin Liu's 3 Body Problem trilogy. It's crazy good and has such depth.

Currently working through The Complete Web Development Bootcamp by Angela Yu on #Udemy and really enjoying it. I've still got a way to go, but it's great so far! If you've always wanted to get into #coding and #webdevelopment, this is a fun and accessible place to start.

A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark was such a cool place to inhabit for the span of these pages. I’d go back to this world and its awesome characters in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Beautiful article!

We are all storytellers, the protagonist of our own story...but remember it's a story you tell yourself and everyone has their own story.

It has taken me ages to get to this classic of African lit, but I've now read Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe! Simple and powerful with an ending like the crack of a whip, this short novel should be on everyone’s TBR. Full #bookreview:

After 1,709 pages, I've finally finished the Three-Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu!

These books take you all the way to the edge of the universe and bring you back to the depths of the human heart. 💙📚

I can't wait to read Booker Prize winner Prophet Song: "Lynch pulls off feats of language that are stunning to witness. He has the heart of a poet, using repetition and recurring motifs to create a visceral reading experience."

If you enjoy sci-fi set in a world resembling the present, read the Three-Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu.

This world-altering story is set in motion after one person makes a unilateral decision that changes the course of human history!
