That I absolutely loved!
I’d actually seen the Ready Player One movie before I was assigned the book for one of my classes. However, I was still able to form my own image of the world in my head because of the descriptive language Cline uses! I definitely recommend even if you aren’t a fan of science fiction! (Ready Player Two has been on my tbr list for a longgg time now, should I go ahead and get it??)
Best Debut Short Stories 2021 is “The essential annual guide to the newest voices in literature”. Clearly I read this a while ago considering it’s now 2025. BUT this gave me a new perspective on short stories, and I was excited to read the works of debut authors! I might have to go ahead and get the new one!🤭📚
