πŸ“š Reading in Review: February 2024 ⁣
⁣
This was another light reading month for me, and I’m ridiculously off track to complete this year’s outrageous reading goal, but… I still read. ♥️ ⁣
⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Attack on Titan Volume 1 by Hajime Isayama ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣
One of the coolest things about having teenagers is that they introduce you to new things, and this series is proof.
⁣
πŸ“– Attack on Titan Volume 2 ⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Mercury by Amy Jo Burns⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
Everything I want in a family saga, with a bildungsroman as an added (and equally well done) bonus. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Built for This by Julia Turshen ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Chain Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brennan⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
Horribly dark and impossible to “enjoy”, yet so well crafted. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Fair Play by Eve Rodsky ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣
Helpful and useful, but could have been shorter. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣
Daring structure and command of language almost perfected but tripped up by its pacing. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Footnotes in Gaza by Joe Stacco ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
No notes. 😭♥️ ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Bibliophile by Jane Mount⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣
A reread of a beautifully illustrated collection of book notes. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Roughneck by Jeff Lemire ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
Cold, bleak, dark, beautiful-noir at its graphic best. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Soundtrack of Silence by Matt Hay ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
Everything memoir should be wrapped in a delightfully musical package. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Writing Into the Wound by Roxanne Gay ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣
⁣
πŸ“– The Devil and Harper Lee by Mark Seal ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⁣
Let’s just say that Demon Copperhead should have been her 2nd Pulitzer. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Saturday Night at The Lakeside Supper Club by J. Ryan Stradal ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
Never has a man written women so well and never has quiet fiction been such a comfort. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Science of Stretch by DK ⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– Start Here by Sohla El-Waylly ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
⁣
So fun, so readable. ⁣
⁣
πŸ“– The Lord is My Courage by K.J. Ramsey ⁣
⁣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⁣
⁣
I, truly, praise God for Ramsey’s *courage* to press into the intersection of our faith and our bodies and say what others won’t. ⁣
⁣
This book healed me in ways I’ll always be grateful for. ♥️⁣
