Finished reading: I Kissed an Earl by Julie Anne Long πŸ“š

A headstrong lady! Shipboard romance! As always, Julie Anne Long does the job.

Finished reading: How to Tell When We Will Die by Johanna Hedva πŸ“š

This book challenged me. I don’t know the last time I had to look up several new-to-me words in a book, but we’re talking decades. This book was full of essays that resonated deeply with my own experiences and others that were like a window into a completely different world. I’m so glad I read it.

Finished reading: Let the Children March by Monica Clark-Robinson πŸ“š

A great picture book about the Children’s Crusade in Birmingham in 1963, perfect model of how kids can make a difference.

Finished reading: Since the Surrender by Julie Anne Long πŸ“š

Julie Anne Long is really good at the job. Lots of yearning in this one, in the best way.

Finished reading: How to Steal a Galaxy by Beth Revis πŸ“š

Super fun but also upsetting because of the social commentary middle book in a space heist romance trilogy.

Finished reading: Like No Other Lover by Julie Anne Long πŸ“š

So great. Julie Anne Long is excellent both at the plot level and at the prose level.

Finished reading: Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman πŸ“š

As great as everyone says. It’s striking how much chronic illness and grad school prepped me for accepting rather than struggling with the ideas here. This is a perfect book to read when you’re in your 40s.

Finished reading: The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long πŸ“š

A book with an awesome heroine and a delightful hero. Julie Anne Long is new to me and seems bound to become one of my favorite historic romance authors.
