This is where I am at this month. Not much reading is happening, but I couldn't tell you what is taking up the time instead. I finished The Odyssey. I got The Story of Art Without Men back from the library. I've been slowly making my way through The House in Paris and (not pictured) Apartment in Athens. Whereas is waaaaay out of my comfort zone and I'm not getting much out of it, but I'll keep reading in hopes that a poem will click.
I've read 23 or so from this week's #threelistthursday
3 that left an impression:
🩵 Love Medicine
🩵 King Lear
🩵 In the Time of Butterflies
3 on the TBR:
🩵 The Inheritance of Loss
🩵 Kindred
🩵 Invisible Man
1 Confession:
I loathe Hemingway. 🫣😂

pickA few years ago, I went to see Tommy Orange speak about his follow up to There, There. When asked about books he‘d recently read and loved, this was one of his recs.
And now I know why.
pickA gem I picked up at my library‘s used book sale. I find Erdrich‘s writing beautiful and heartbreaking. I feel a real connection to Native American culture and Erdrich is one of my favorite authors.
pickCompelling, heartbreaking, and very impactful. I did not see that end coming! Betrayal, double crossing, and deep rooted mistrust. Such a fantastic book. Book #97 in 2024
pickStunning and transformative. These pieces brought the oldest myths and traditions into the world we live in now, and merged the two like a double exposed photograph. It showed beauty in places we typically don‘t see it, and exposed an authenticity to certain rituals in ways I‘d never fully understood before.
