Wool by Hugh Howey

Here we go. People had been talking about this awesome sci-fi tv show with the enchanting Rebecca Ferguson, Rashida Jones, and Steve Zahn. And I watched a few episodes, after reading this book which I think tells the story of both seasons of the tv show. It's good. Immersive, dark, makes you wonder. If you like modern science fiction, you'll like it. 

It's about people who live in underground silos after some sort of catastrophic event on earth, and there's a lot of control in the amount of information people can have. There's also a lot of climbing and going down stairs, which the tv show doesn't emphasize enough. 

Other People's Clothes by Calla Henkel

This book is kind of a murder mystery. Well, we have two friends who meet while studying abroad in Berlin. They rent a house from a famous writer for very cheap, and throw parties to supplement their rent. 

No spoilers here, I promise. One girl kills herself and the other can't believe it is so, and ends up in an insane asylum after reading her old friends' diary and going out pretending to be the friend, in her clothes. I liked this book. Sure. Was it my thing? I don't know. I'm not super into mysteries above juicy thrills. Maybe you'd like it. 

Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

Cults. Is there a topic more juicy? Who doesn't want to adapt a completely regimented lifestyle to help them avoid all the crap they don't want to do? But cults are not just religions, of course not. Cults can be gyms, MLMs, and support groups. 

And this book goes into some depth about the language many of these groups adapt to divide themselves from anyone who's not in the cult. It's all pretty interesting, but it's not as juicy as a tell-all from someone who sold their soul, castrated themselves, or went into human trafficing. So don't expect that here.
