Sky Daddy: 'Deliciously weird' Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch | 
pickA surprising and bizarre book. The main character and Folk‘s writing are so unique, so unexpected. It‘s a truly odd story about friendship, belonging, and embracing your own weirdness. And of course, being romantically and physically attracted to planes. If you want to try a book that‘s a bit out there, give it a whirl.
I read 17 books in September, and DNF'd 2. Some really stand out books this month! Tagging the 1 I keep thinking about.

My most anticipated summer read- finally starting it tonight!
pickThis was interesting, I really enjoyed it. At 50 pages in I worried that the book was going to be too long, it is "quirky" and often those books cannot be tolerated for a very long time, but this turned out to be perfect length. There were enough side characters and story lines to keep the story moving along, and the main thread - Linda's intense desire to marry a plane - was well balanced. I have always thought objectophilia was fascinating.
No better place to read this than the airport and on a plane 😂
pickSo incredibly unhinged, but I couldn‘t stop reading it. The writing is superb. The premise is WILD. There‘s an underlying humor that‘s not quite enough to shadow the incredible sadness of the characters. Definitely not one I‘m going to forget and not one I can recommend to just anyone…😬🤭
pickNo kink shaming, but Linda wants to marry an airplane. I'm not sure I quite grapsed the allegory there, but the book was delightfully weird, and it kept me entertained the whole time. Flying will never be the same.
I accidentally matched my bookmark to my book today @squirrelbrain
pickAre all books about grief and longing or just the ones published lately….OR, am I getting older and reading everything through a different lens thanks to my crushing anxiety??
Anyhoo—this is quite a writing prompt: “a woman wants to marry a plane” and go. Folk did this justice! I was all in! This fits right in with the weird girl books like a few I‘ll tag below. Ultimately, female friendship and human connection prevail.
End of the month book organization has begun with a Calamity helper.
Linda is…different. 😬 My brother is a pilot, so Linda‘s ultimate wish makes me squirm. That said, she is so deliciously weird that I cannot stop listening to this book! It should be a complete turnoff but, at this point (I‘m only on chapter two), I‘m all in for the ride (flight? Journey? Whatever. I‘m in!)
pickI approached this book about a woman who wants to marry a plane with caution, because what a premise! But it was weird in a way that really worked for me and I ended up really loving it! It‘s wildly creative and quirky and I can‘t wait to see what Kate Folk does next.
pickWhat a voice! Sky Daddy does such a good job of articulating MC Linda‘s unusual desire and search for acceptance. I really really liked it.
pickI came for the weird girl, lit fic vibes but found myself unexpectedly charmed by the whole thing, vision boards included.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A bizarre and stinging satire on modern dating. I think? This was weird, y‘all, but I loved the characters and writing.
