I'll recommend some from the lesser known progression fantasy genre:

• Cradle by Will Wight
• Mage Errant by John Bierce
• Mother of Learning by Nobody103 (Domagoj Kurmaić)
• The Weirkey Chronicles by Sarah Lin
• Beware of Chicken by CasualFarmer
• Super Powereds by Drew Hayes

Not my blog, just sharing it here. Saw it on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40419325)

You're welcome, happy learning :)

Thanks! 😊

I'm a bit active on book-related forums. I post reviews of books I've read, give book recommendations, etc. In this case, the author contacted me based on my reviews.

Like alpha, beta, gamma readers. Used by authors to get feedback at various stages of their book before it is published. Alpha stage is very rough, like first draft. Not sure where the line lies between beta and gamma stage, but they are close to finished works - only typos and minor changes would be made based on reader feedback.

For indie authors, beta readers often help to get a few reviews out close to book publication.

I'm doing a beta-read. Well written, great ideas, etc. Unfortunately, the book is turning out to be much darker than I'm comfortable with. I'll probably try to get to the halfway point before deciding to give up.

That's great to hear and thanks for the kind feedback :)

Cradle by Will Wight is a page-turner. 12 book completed series and audio is great based on gushing reviews I've come across.

"To Kill a Mocking Bird" is great.

Thanks, that looks interesting, added to my TBR.

Also, just remembered The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester as another candidate for your request. This is also sci-fi.

I have a concise guide at https://learnbyexample.github.io/cli-computing/searching-files-and-filenames.html#grep and a more detailed book at https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_gnugrep_ripgrep/introduction.html. Both have examples and exercises.
