Back in school so school-assigned books are what I’m reading:

They Call you Back by Tim Z. Hernandez

The Triggering Town by Richard Hugo

The Lords of Misrule by X. J. Kennedy

The Poetry Home Repair Manual by Ted Kooser

I went through a Dungeon Crawler Carl bender and read all of them in a month or so, and looking forward to Book 8 in May.

Not to mention Meatus, a regular sized goblin who became a god after cutting off and grafting onto himself the dick of a hundreds meters tall god.
