pickThis was short and beautiful: a significant Holocaust survivor's reflection on having had open-heart surgery at age 82 and the questions, fears, memories, and values it raised. He looks at whether he has done enough, his relationship with his father and son, his relationship with his own body, and desire for a future that might not come.

pickRenée Nicholson writes about two different parts of her life. Initially, she‘s the young dancer making sense of competition, instructor corrections, and visions of the future. As the essays progress, Nicholson explains her life with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), which radically changed her ballet dreams. Never whiney. Well-crafted. Lovely throughout.

pickBk1 of April is done.Took me a minute to finish this as I kept putting it down to cry or rant about stupid police. There‘s a reason these murders took 25+yrs to solve, the tunnel vision shown by the task force who so believed they had the suspect,they completely ignored any evidence that didn‘t fit their narrative. I was the same age as these 3 girls when they were murdered in Perth in the 90s so it‘s very personal to me. RIP Sarah, Jane & Ciara.
