This year I've been diving into Game dev books and Harry Potter fan fiction. There's a lot of great reads out there. I assume having an entire world built for you removes a lot of the heavy lifting (as a writer).

GameDev:

- The Masters of Doom

- The Doom Guy

- Play Nice

- Press Reset

- Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

- Console Wars

- Ask Iwata

- Embed with Games

HP Fanfic:

- All The Young Dudes (by MsKingBean89) [student life of the Marauders]

- Grey Space (by noaacat) [Pre Hogwarts. Focuses on parental abuse. One scene I'll never forget (paraphrasing) is when another student at school notices Harry's bruises, slides up her sleeve, and implies she slipped too]

- Just started the Glasslight series (noaacat).

I also reread the entire Harry Potter series, and revisited a handful of Redwall books. I find it interesting how I loved RW as a kid/teen, was bored out of my mind with it in my 20s, and now I love it again.
