Just finished my second book of the year: Non-Player Character by @vicorva. A TTRPG party are mysteriously transported to the world of their game, along with a small child, and need to find their way home. Great characters, some cute critters, and even some romance.

Rating: 5 stars

Descendants

Today's evasion of the news included reading book #3 in almost one sitting.

When Haru Was Here, by Dustin Thao. A gay young man of Vietnamese descent dealing with grief, not always in the most constructive ways. CW for alcohol, grief, death of loved ones. I bought the audiobook because the narrator is one of the voice actors on my favorite D&D podcast, Encounter Party! (encounterparty.com) #StarryReads2025

@Starry1086 It sounds like a sad book. 😿

@littlemiao Yeah, there was a happy-for-now ending but it was pretty rough.
