The Suicide Index: Putting My Father's Death in Order | 
pickBetween a pick and a so-so, this seemed almost like a therapy assignment for the author. But there were places of insight and others of sparkling prose, so I‘ll go with a pick. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

The word "miss" is so wistful. As is the word "wistful," for that matter. They both have sighs embedded in them, that "iss" sound. Which also sounds like if.
I've got SO MUCH love for nonfiction, especially memoir and personal essay. I earned my MFA in nonfiction writing in 2015, and am currently at work on a memoir-in-essays dealing with adoption, gender, fear, and culture/media. Every one of these books has informed and influenced me as a writer (in terms of craft, language, structure, theme, tone, etc.)—but I also just LOVE them as a reader! ❤️📚😍📚❤️ #somethingforsept #nonfictionlove
#funfridayphoto Lots of my favorites were school assignments! I read The House on Mango Street (everyone else hated it! 😒) and The Things They Carried for high school English classes (10th and 11th grade). Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? and The Corrections were both on the syllabus for a college class on American realism. After Long Silence and The Suicide Index were assigned in the first year of my NF MFA program. My teachers had good taste! ❤️
