Finished reading: The Secret to Superhuman Strength by Alison Bechdel 📚 So fun. I loved this book. Read it twice over and expect to re-read it many times.
Finished reading: What I Found in a Thousand Towns: A Traveling Musician’s Guide to Rebuilding America’s Communities-One Coffee Shop, Dog Run, and Open-Mike Night at a Time by Dar Williams 📚 Definitely an interesting and thought-provoking read. This book provides support and some guidance for anyone who has ever wanted to build more community in their town.
Finished reading: The City We Became by N.K. Jemison 📚 A very fun read, highly recommended, especially if you are fond of the city of New York. I’m looking forward to the next books in this trilogy.
Finished reading: Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor 📚 A fun and fast read with great characters.
Finished reading: Writers and Lovers by Lily King 📚 Oh, I really liked this book. At first, I was not grabbed by it. But as it went on, the more I loved it. The author does a masterful job of centering the book on women, rather than having everything be a reflection of men.

Finished reading: Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon 📚 Horrible book. Sexist, racist, drug-addled ravings. Surely a book that has not stood the test of time. And why did so many male mid-century writers think that child rape was a good and sexy topic? My level of disgust is difficult to communicate.
Currently reading: Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor 📚
Finished reading: Apeirogon by Colum McCann 📚Absolutely 5 stars. Lyrical, beautiful, and deeply provoking. So much to think about regarding Israel and Palestine. But I didn’t know this was the book’s topic when I began it.

Finished reading: Change Agent by Daniel Suarez 📚 A wild ride, and frightening in its vision of a completely genetically-modified future, but also very interesting. Not great literature but not trash either.

Finished reading: The Secret to Superhuman Strength by Alison Bechdel 📚Totally loved it and immediately re-read it after finishing it. It’s even better the second time.

Currently reading: The Secret to Superhuman Strength by Alison Bechdel 📚Loving this book already. Interesting quirk: I’m almost exactly the same age as the author. Since this is partially an auto-biography with a lot of history, it’s like reading about my own growing up years.
