So many subcategories that could be their own lists! So, I'm just going to go off the top of my head:
1. Tears We Cannot Stop by Michael Eric Dyson
2. Into the Gray Zone by Adrian Owen
3. what if? by Randall Munroe

Water = Coffee. Coffee = Happiness. Water is essential to happiness.
panI managed to fit in one more book before New Year‘s Eve starts. But I was too impatient to fully appreciate this little book. 52 micro-memoirs, some gems (especially the ones about married life), some I glanced over before moving on. I‘m calling it quits, looking forward to a new reading year and beginning all those new reading challenges!

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Reread of a book I absolutely loved first time around. It didn‘t quite hold up, but was still enjoyable enough. I docked a star. Rather than calling it “micro-memoirs,” which I previously thought was so clever, it‘s really mostly personal essays. Kudos to marketing!
Enjoying some beautiful weather, the garden, and a used bookstore pickup! 📚 🌞 🪴
so-soI needed a short read and this caught my eye - essays Zadie Smith wrote at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. They start with the pandemic specifically and end with an essay concerning the virus of racism, particularly in America. I found the collection interesting but not as insightful as I'd hoped.

On Saturday the sun was shining (unlike now with dangerous, cold wind!) and I headed to the Botanic Garden‘s book fair. I exercised restraint with the books but the cds were free so I couldn‘t help myself. Mainly classical music. Some of the book covers are gorgeous and all in great condition. A bargain as they were mostly $2 each. I enjoyed a Devonshire tea afterwards. I will definitely be back.
pickBiss writes short, smart chapters that ask basic questions about capitalism while offering insight into everything from social class to Scooby-Doo. I really enjoyed this book. #nonfiction
