Blood Over Bright Haven and The Wizard of the Kremlin both arrived in the mail this week. Where to start? I think I'll save Blood Over Bright Haven for next weekend. #books

Here's everything I read in June, with thanks to flight delays. I enjoyed all of these, although I think Amanda Nguyen's book was my stand-out, followed by Lonely Mouth. I'm still trying to fully understand The last Samurai...

I just finished Saving Five and holy crap Amanda Nguyen has been through it! In her own words, she has experienced denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and acceptance. But she has not only survived... she has taken others with her, and written into law a Bill of Rights for survivors ❤️

I should get credit for not attending Jeff Bezo's wedding even though I wasn't invited.

My book haul from the library.

I just finished reading The Last Samurai and I cannot fathom how clever Helen De Witt must be to have put something like that together.
It was a challenging book to read, but worth it.

Stuff I read in May.
The MFG book was meh, everything else was great!
Tina Brown's Vanity Fair diary was as juicy as I expected (she called Brois Johnson and epic shit!) and also how did anyone keep up with the pace of NYC in the 1980S.

I read Remarkably Bright Creatures this week and it was a delight!

I seem to have chosen difficult books to start my May reading. I just finished We Do Not Part by Han Kang. This is the fourth book I've read by Han Kang, and her most recent. It was published in 2021 but the English translation was released in 2025. I bought my copy at a bookstore in Seoul.

Stuff I read in April...
Mixed bag. I'd recommend The Disaster Tourist and The Parable of the Talents.
At Dusk was also good, but I struggled to care about the characters.

February was hectic and besides a relatively meh crime novel that I've already returned to the library Patriot is the only thing I've read. Alexei Navalny wasn't perfect but his story typifies the treatment of any who brook opposition to the Putin regime. #books

Stuff I read in January. It was a bit of a 50:50 reading month. I loved Orbital and The Girl who Fell Beneath the Sea.
The rest was all a bit meh. The Trunk seems like it was poorly translated, Future Perfect had a great premise but was poorly executed (wins at clunky dialogue).

If you like fantasy with no spice, or if you're looking for a younger YA novel this might be the book for you. The girl who fell beneath the sea is a beautiful (albeit loose) retelling of an old folktale. Also how beautiful is the cover art 🥰

I just looked up from reading and my whole patio looked pink so I went outside and saw this! Such a gorgeous sunset.
