What we’re Enjoying

Shua listened to Artemis, Andy Weir's lunar adventure novel narrated by Rosario Dawson. The story follows Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara, a small-time smuggler living in humanity's first lunar city who becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy after taking on a lucrative criminal job. Shua thought it was a fun sci-fi story and very timely with all of the Artemis missions we’re living through. He also really liked Rosario Dawson’s performance. Check it out at Audible.com. After spending time playing LEGO Batman, Jay found himself in the mood to revisit some of the Dark Knight's greatest cinematic adventures. He watched Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, Batman Returns, and The Batman, enjoying the different interpretations of Gotham's legendary hero, a lot of which appears in his new game.
