Re: April!
The Naomi Klein book was really good.
Then I read Coronation by Jennifer Robson; good palate cleanser after the mindfuck of Doppelganger.
Yesterday I picked up the brand new Emily Henry book, Funny Story.

Spudd, I need to order that John Boyne book.
Re: April!
I finished The Dawn of Everything. I feel like it was important but it wasn't all that compelling. Might be better as a documentary. Then I read Who We Are Now by Lauren Chamberlain. It followed university roommates through their early adulthood. It was good. I just finished Cassandra In Reverse by ...
Re: April!
I will definitely have to check out the Sally Hepworth. The rom com I read was cute. Now I am most of the way through The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow. It's challenging assumptions we've had about how previous societies lived. Bit of a slog, but some interesting points. (For...
Re: March!
Rowan I will have to put that Rebecca Serle one on my list; I usually like her stuff. I loved The Sea of Tranquility. And when I took it back this weekend I dropped it off at the desk, and when I came back the librarian asked how I liked it. She and I both liked Station Eleven but not another one by...
Re: March!
The Undertow: Scenes From a Slow Civil War by Jeff Sharlet was FRIGHTENING.
Then I read The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jiminez. Kinda blah but ok.
Now I have Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel.

I read All The Light We Cannot See. I was prepared to be disappointed and I was, in places, but pleasantly surprised in others.
Now I have The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren.

Re: January!
I finished Local Gone Missing; it was pretty good.
I have All the Light We Cannot See now. I might just skim it since I know what happens.

Re: January!
I read Lily... In December of 2017, which means Tie had died 7 or 8 months before. But we also had puppy Frankie. I had read the blurb, so I had a vague idea. I put The German Wife aside because I own it and figured I better read library books. I just finished Love Me Do by Lindsay Kelk. Some funny ...
Re: January!
I finished Life's Too Short. The sex scenes were CRINGE.
Then I read The Care And Feeding Of Ravenously Hungry Girls by Anissa Gray. Great writing, made me feel something.
Now I have The German Wife by Kelly Rimmer.

Re: January!
I set my goal at 75 because I did 71 this year, but I have a feeling I might lower it.
I'm currently reading The Celebrants by Steven Rowley. I like his writing.

Re: December!
I finished A Night Boat to Tangier. Meh. Then I read Bachelor Girl by I can't remember who. Interesting premise. It was ok. I have to get more books; there are some waiting for me at the library. Edit: picked up Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld today and I am already halfway through it. Somethin...
Re: December!
Oh, yes, the opposite would also be bad.
I think I associate the idea of a feathery stroker with a guy who wants to recite poetry. Same vibe, ew.

Re: December!
I finished Again, Rachel. I do love Marian Keyes. Standout line, "Is he a feathery stroker?" referring to a certain kind of man and how he acts during sex. I laughed so hard; I have encountered feathery strokers. Although I removed myself from the situation before it got to sex. Barf. Next...
Re: December!
Spudd, the Stuff You Should Know podcast recently did an episode on JD Salinger and now I want to re-read it, too!
