I was devastated to learn of the passing of Diane Keaton, one of my favorite actresses. What a light and a legend. It seems a lot of my favorite actors, singers, etc. are dying and are adding to the despair that is this year.
RIP, Ms. Keaton. Time to revisit your gold standards, especially THE FIRST WIVES CLUB. 🧡💜💛

I I had a good reading month. Not enough time to read but lots of good stuff to read.

So… yeah… zero nonfiction this month, so I guess my bracket will get an extra book from October. 🤷🏻♀️

I wasn‘t a Swamplandia fan and thus initially passed this one up, so I‘m glad the #NBAlonglist for fiction got me to read it. I found this unique Dust Bowl historical fiction with some fantastical components to be fully engrossing. The characters are great and I like that we hear rotating perspectives from them, which helps keep the book moving. I really liked it!

Recently found this hidden gem - a waterfall in one of the local parks in Raleigh! It used to be a working mill and it‘s now a cute little spot to take in some natural beauty.

The Antidote is so different: it‘s historical fiction but felt fresh. The point of view is constantly changing so the action is slow and even feels a bit repetitive but I think that is actually a good thing for this novel. There‘s also Wizard of Oz vibes, weirdly. I hadn‘t encountered that in other reviews I‘ve read, but the town is Uz, and there‘s a scarecrow. Stolen lands, a collective misremembering & willful ignorance, it‘s America!
