^Yep, they grow corn. They have food Growing levels.

The Silos are located in Georgia, in sight of Atlanta.

Each silo is different in their customs and traditions. Some have lifts/elevators while in others, there are only stairs.

A sillo with only stairs?  Omg I would die lmao  :GA:

I'm actually afraid of growing old in the house I live in now.  I've stumbled and fallen on the stairs multiple times this year.  They are quite narrow and not very stable.  Imagine if I was twenty years older!

In the Silo with stairs, it took the mayor three days to reach the bottom level after starting at the top. And that's going downstairs.

I once lived in a small house with stairs in a C shape. I never fell down them but I fell up them plenty of times.

I used Amazon Australia...

If you look up Silo by Hugh Howey on Amazon America it should turn up.

Read through an incredibly boring solution design document. Kill me now. And I wrote much of that one.

What's Griffin Academy about?

I've finished the Silo series, now wondering what to read.

A young girl saves the life of a veteran griffon (they are used as war mounts... but also sentient) by riding him to defend the city from attack.  Otherwise he would have been euthanized for going blind.  But he gets a reason to live after that, and the girl is allowed to join the academy for griffon riders even though it's generally against the rules.  She has to survive hazing from the other students as well as political intrigue from the royal family to earn the respect of the other students and her fellow citizens.  I'm describing it really badly lol and I don't want to spoil any of the cool surprises, but it's honestly a super fun series of books and I can't wait to read the fourth one

^That sounds interesting, might give it a look on Amazon, see if they have it.

I'm reading a Star Wars book - Dark Disciple.

That's where I got it from.  I don't know if they do region locking on books, but do give it a shot. 

Since we're talking about recommendations, another author named Corinne Duyvis has written some fantastic YA fantasy and scifi.  She's autistic :3

A book on calculus that I stumbled upon. Made me remember how much I used to enjoy differential equations.

Made me want to look up other books on the subject. Lucky I'm going to London on Sunday. Foyles will have what I need.

A book called Dreadnought by April Daniels.

It's about a teen trans girl who is transformed into how she thinks she should be when a superhero (Dreadnought) falls from the sky, transfers his power onto her and then dies. So she has to deal with living in a body that fits her, her psycho dad, her best friend who now wants to date her and other superheroes who think she's too young to take over Dreadnought's powers.
