Book Complete: The Anthropologists

Perfectly captures the feeling of living in a city far from home as a young married couple. Neither here nor there, waiting for life to start.

5/5

Book Complete: Definitely Better Now

A moving story about a recovering alcoholic. It follows her struggles as she navigates life sober and deals with life’s curveballs.

I was totally rooting for her. The foreshadowing was on the nose, but overall I thought it was a hopeful read. 4/5 stars

Book Complete: Love of my afterlife

This book took awhile to get going. I didn’t really like the characters at first but related to the themes of bullying and loneliness. About 2/3 through the book found its footing and landed a satisfying and sweet ending.

3.5/5 stars

Have you ever complained enough about a dangerous intersection that the city decided to do something about it?

Because I can now say I have.

Book Complete: PS I hate you

Who doesn’t want to start the year with a sentimental, hilarious, tear jerker of a book? Was a fun, light read that I flew through despite being 400+ pages

5/5

Welcome to the useless days. No goals, minimal commitments, just existing in a holiday haze.

Book Complete: The Fetishist

Interesting book published post humously by Katharine Min. Cutting observations and interesting characters, but didn’t feel quite finished (understandably). Worth a read if you’re interested in books exploring intersectionality.

4.5/5

I am once again reminded no one needs to ever make “A Christmas Carol” again as perfection does exist

Book Complete: Dinner for Vampires

Fascinating memoir about getting into and out of a cult. I found the beginning a little slow, but it definitely picked up. Didn’t see one tree hill, so didn’t understand some references.

3.5/5

Book complete: the covenant of water

Not my favorite. While I appreciate the overall structure of the story and the writing, the content was distressing for me. I also felt there was a lot of detail that muddled the broader arc. Was not my comfort zone 2/5

Petition to make the entire month of December a holiday

Can we take all the December obligations and distribute them more evenly throughout the year? It’s getting a little out of hand
