7/41 Pyramids by Terry Pratchett, reread as a part of #discworldmarathon. Really interesting look at power, religion, and going too far. I am only 1 reread away from a previously unread Discworld book, and though it’s going a bit slow I am enjoying my marathon very much.

Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez. I loved it. It resonated with me because my life has elements of this book now. Mundane things we don’t notice become precious beyond words. It was more of an emotional read for me than I expected. Mild spice.

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk 🎧
This book has been on my TBR forever. A compassionate and professional look at all the ways trauma hurts us, and the various possibilities of addressing it. So many things make so much sense now.

Oksi by Mari Ahokoivu. A beautifully dark graphic novel based on Finnish folklore. A complicated mother-daughter relationship, curiosity and its consequences, an elaborate plan of primordial deities. Gorgeous and eerie art.

The Alchemy of Flowers by Laura Resau. A beautifully written magical realism tale of loss, healing, and a found family. A mystery worked into the narrative. It was a page turner and I really enjoyed it. Colorado author. TW: infertility and loss.

Uncharmed by Lucy Jane Wood. 🎧A neurotic witch with a heart of gold, a stray teenage witch, and a rustic warlock come together in a tale of a found family and finding one’s true self. Overall enjoyable, but a bit too long and too sweet for me.

Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. I was aware of some bits of this story but not of the extent of it. It was an interesting but depressing read, the company and people affected our world with devastating consequences. There is not much hope for a brighter future.

5/41 Sourcery reread is completed! Enjoyed it very much, some parallels with Equal Rites. I wish we had some overlap of Coin and Esk. But it really was a great read.

The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir by Jennifer Ryan 🎧
An epistolary novel.
A story of a village in Kent in 1940, and its mostly female inhabitants finding strength in music and each other in the face of war. Enjoyed it overall, though sometimes if felt over the top.

The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gilling 🎧Fun premise, interesting magic system, good pace, a pretty sweet romance. I expected a more complex plot, but it worked. The gargoyle is my favorite. Curious how the second book will work out.

Enjoyed this book tremendously. It’s a deep look into Greek goddesses and their in myth, literature, pop culture, and life. I wish my audio book projected pictures of all the artwork. 😅

A Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross 🎧 wrapping up the Cadence duology. It felt less dynamic than the first book and it took me a while to get through it. But the story wrapped up well. Romance was fleshed out more, the magical system held up overall. I enjoyed this duology.

"I meant,"
said Ipslore, bitterly, "what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually, CATS ARE NICE.

The Way of Nagomi by Ken Mogi. 🎧
This book is different from the most reads on Japan and what makes the Japanese way of living special. It steps deeper into the underlying philosophy of it all. Even with some shaky examples it was very interesting and I learned a lot.

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins 🎧 read by Jefferson White. Haymitch and his backstory were even more tragic than was alluded in the original trilogy. Reading a book that doesn’t have a lot of hope in it is hard. I am looking forward to the movie.

🎧 Extremely Online by Taylor Lorenz. This book gives a timeline of how social media was changing in the past two decades. Human connection, greed, grift, opportunities, hateful things, doors that open and close, inequality. Heavy focus on the money made from it.

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.
