Finished reading: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt 📚I didn’t love it. It’s mostly a book about the outcomes of bad parenting.
Finished reading: The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik 📚Occasionally annoying because the writing can be so repetitive, but overall satisfying and fun.
Currently reading: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt 📚 Oops, I may be reading too many books at the same time! It’s still winter where I live so that’s my excuse.

Finished reading: I Have Some Questions for You by Rebecca Makkai 📚A murder mystery with social commentary and very well done. Highly recommended.
Finished reading: The Peregrine by J.A. Baker 📚A lovely read. Nothing happens except that our barely visible author watches several peregrine hawks hunt their prey day after day during an English winter and spring. The writing is amazing.

Finished reading: Babel by R Huang📚OK but not awesome. Boring characters but interesting world building with many lessons for our world.
Finished reading: Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia by David Graeber 📚enjoyed it but only because I am a Graeber completionist. It read like his notes, rather than an actual book.

Finished reading: Africa Is Not A Country by Dipo Faloyin 📚An excellent read and quite edifying.
Finished reading: The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton 📚For dystopian, climate-disaster fiction, this was pretty good and not killingly depressing.
