"Educated" by Tara Westover. Office book club selection for June, and one of my other colleagues who isn't in book club read it and found it good but harrowing. And my sister read it and said I'd like it. She made me cry, when her mother said "You were my child. I should have protected you." And then of course I was angry for the rest of the book. I hadn't realized when I started that her PhD is in history, that made so much of what I liked make sense (where she's presenting differing views in the footnotes, etc.)
LHC #246: "For the Wolf" by Hannah Whitten. Hard copy because the TPL Overdrive site had 2 copies and 72 holds, so a wait of "at least six months". I found it sort of hard to read, something about the sentences and paragraphs didn't sit right. The characters' communication styles drove me crazy, maybe it was condoning toxic masculinity? Not the book for me I guess.
LHC #247: "The Women could Fly" by Megan Giddens. Audiobook because I needed something to knit to. Really good, highly recommended.
LHC #248: "Customs: Poems" by Solmaz Sharif. Who knows why I put this on my list. I have discovered that the optimal way for me to read poetry is on a monitor that I can't reach, in the breaks between practicing my balancing. That way I have to read slowly and properly understand.
LHC #249: "An Agent of Utopia" by Andy Duncan. Hard copy. Short stories. I read it mostly on the bus. People probably think I'm unhinged for laughing.
LHC #250: "So you want to be a wizard" by Diane Duane. eBook. Another one I'm not the target audience for, and yet I feel like I knew someone once for whom this book was totally the jam. They had an obsession with lotuses, for example.
