Scoring systems are everywhere. They underpin our daily lives – from social media to education and health – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Scores are instructional manuals for behaviour. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions weaponize scoring to impose their own interests. Philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how games and their scoring systems, such as likes on social media or university rankings, have fundamentally changed our value systems, prioritising what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us. In this love-letter to the immersive and profound power of games, Nguyen charts a way we might be able to break free from these constraints to lead more creative and joyful lives.

June Wood has nothing left to lose. With her hit TV show cancelled, and jobs lined up, being lured back to New York by a mysterious email was easy. Thanks to a clause in her former landlord’s will, June and her old roommate, Adam Harper, now own the multimillion-dollar property – or they will in a month, once paperwork is signed. June and Adam are stuck together for four weeks. Which would be fine, if it wasn’t for the fact that they haven’t spoken in five years. But this is the opportunity of a lifetime, and once it’s over, she can return to LA and forget all about Adam, New York and everything that went wrong in their friendship. Through shared meals and late-night conversations, old wounds and long-buried sparks resurface. It soon becomes clear that June and Adam have unfinished business. Second chances are always a risk, but maybe, if they are finally honest with each other and themselves, it could be different this time.

I am giving everyone this book, it moved me so much. Beautifully written, in simple prose, it tells the story of a 20 year old boy who goes to live with his uncle, a small holding farmer in Cornwall, following the boy’s cardiac arrest.
His recovery and the slow pace of life on the farm are in sync, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew is poignant and reassuring.
Patrick Charnley, the son of poet and novelist Helen Dunmore, wrote this book after having suffered a cardiac arrest himself.
_________________________________________
After a near-death experience and life-changing injury, twenty-year-old Jago Trevarno goes to stay with his uncle on his small coastal farm a few miles from St Ives in Cornwall. Their existence is a simple one, their lives measured by the span of the days, the rhythms of the seasons and the animals they care for. But lurking in the shadows is local villain, Bill Sligo, who has designs on Jacob’s farm and in particular on a field near the cliffs housing a derelict mineshaft. Wanting to repay his uncle’s kindness, Jago determines to find out what Bill Sligo is up to. Jago is still vulnerable though, and in pursuing Sligo he delves into a murky world that he is ill-equipped to deal with. How far will Bill Sligo go to get what he wants? Jago doesn’t know it yet, but once again he is in grave danger.

Cora Zeng is a crime scene cleaner, washing away the remains of brutal murders and suicides in Chinatown. The bloody messes don’t bother her, not when she’s already witnessed the most horrific thing possible: her sister being pushed in front of a train. Before fleeing the scene, the murderer whispered two words: bat eater. Months pass, the killer is never caught, and Cora can barely keep herself together. She pushes away all feelings, disregards the bite marks that appear on her coffee table, and won’t take her aunt’s advice to prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the gates of hell open. Cora tries to ignore the rising dread in her stomach, even when she and her co-workers begin finding bat carcasses at their crime scene clean-ups. But Cora can’t ignore the fact that all their recent clean-ups have been the bodies of East Asian women. Soon Cora will learn, you can’t just ignore hungry ghosts.
