Finished reading: How to Tell When We Will Die by Johanna Hedva π
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 π
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 π
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 π
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 π
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 π
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 π
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.
