LHC #72: "The Hare With Amber Eyes" by Edmund de Waal. Recommended by a coworker. This is the first thing I've read where I was actively glad I was reading on a computer, because Google was so available. I looked up a lot of paintings and words. The sections about suffering through world wars 1 and 2 certainly put my own not-very-difficult situation in perspective.
"What if this were enough?" by Heather Havrilsky. I think I like her better when she's trying to help other people solve their problems, rather than going on (and on) about her own.
LHC #73: "Silver on the Road" by Laura Anne Gilman. Two-week wait on Overdrive. I loved the worldbuilding and the dynamic between Izzy and Gabriel. Highly recommended.
LHC #74: "The Wrong Stars" by Tim Pratt. Another book I read on overdrive. This was a fun read, and it helped me understand what one of my peers on OWW was going for last year. Sorry I misunderstood the style before, dude!
LHC #75: "The Poppy War" by R.F. Kuang. Overdrive again. I was initially intimidated because the internet said it was 554 pages long, but those must not have been long pages, because it just flew by. So good.
"Albion's Seed" by David Hackett Fischer. Research for WWS. I've been meaning to read it for years. Thank you, COVID-19! Totally not relevant to WWS, but interesting nevertheless: this book used the phrase "social distancing" in 1989.
