Hi, everybody. This is Taylor with The Daily Swell. Hope you're having a beautiful Saturday. I know that. I sure am. Can't tell if you can hear it, but there's a bird chirping away behind me.

I think end of October if I'm right, or maybe it's the end of November. So that's something you definitely don't want to miss out on. So books crack. I would say Ready player one if you want something really just chill. Fun makes you feel good, but has some good themes in it. I recommend The House in the Cerulean Sea. I think it's by T. J. Clooney or T. L. Clooney. Really heartwarming books, and I just liked it

Recursion by Blake Crouch. Vigilance by Robert Jackson Bennett.

But not only that, it's just there's also the brainy side of it. Right? So there's a lot of science and even philosophy and the fact that it's kind of rare, in my opinion, to find an author who can tie in these brainy side of the things along with the emotional depth. And it was just really a pleasure to read. Half the fun for me was trying to figure out the consequences of what if this what if that where is this going?

You don't have to make up some sort of alien space Crystal to tell the story. It's based on things we actually know about technology. So there we go. Judas Unchained is what I'm reading. But if you want an epic scope Sci-Fi story that introduces you to alien psychology a bit, check out Children of Ruin. If you like it, we Children of Time. Sorry, that's first book is Children of Time. Second book, Children of ruin

Many books, including Mary Toft, or The Rabbit Queen -and- Waking Up White

I'm also reading Jesus and The Disinherited by Howard Thurman, which is a theological treatise, and I didn't know anything about Howard Thurman. He's a really interesting guy in 20th century various civil rights movements, but kind of before the civil rights movements of the 19s 60s. And then here are the two. I'll give you a little more detail on. So one is a novel called Merritoft or The Rabbit Queen, which is a novel by Dexter Palmer

The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood

A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere as long as it stays inside the maze. So this is a quote from The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and Taylor. Great Swell. So the Handmaid sale has been my weekend read so far because I'm in with Shena's on the book discussion that's right now happening on Swell. So I'm almost through with the book, which is dark dystopic and frankly quite unsettling and quite unlike anything that I've ever read before

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood 📖

The chances are one in four. We learned that at the center, the air got too full once of chemicals, rays, radiation. The water swarmed with toxic molecules. All of that takes years to clean up. And Meanwhile, they creep into to your body. Camp out in your fatty cells. Who knows? Your very flesh may be polluted dirty as an oily beach. Share death to shore birds and unborn babies. Maybe a Vulture would die of eating you
