Finished reading: An Equal Music by Vikram Seth 📚 This is one of my favorite authors and this novel did not disappoint, even though I did not trust the narrator. It was interesting to learn quite a bit about chamber music, interesting to consider as I begin my second year of fiddle lessons.
Finished reading: 142 Ostriches by April Davila 📚Fun novel, sort of a coming-of-age story. Good characters, and you learn a lot about ostriches. The end is a bit of a muddle but I’m willing to forgive because it was a good ride.

Currently reading: Brave the Wild River: The Untold Story of Two Women Who Mapped the Botany of the Grand Canyon by Melissa L. Sevigny 📚This month’s book group read.
Finished reading: The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich 📚Mixed feelings. Overall, I liked it a lot. Some great characters. But there’s a terrible scene of horror where several teens die, too memorable. And the poor men in this book! So many die, or are emotionally wounded, or get sick.

Finished Reading 📚Crying in H-Mart by Michelle Zauner. It’s ultimately a sad story of a young woman having to watch her mother die of a painful cancer. There’s a lot of sweetness and many descriptions of great Korean food. In so many families, mine included, we preserve culture through food.
Quit reading: Gnomon by Nick Harkaway 📚unreadable for many reasons, including typographic choices that made reading on Kindle nearly impossible.
Finished reading: Parsons' Mill by Timothy Lewontin 📚nice but dated non-fiction about a young man who decides to take a job at a small lumber mill in Vermont. Good descriptions of a world that no longer exists.
Currently reading: Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner 📚Our next Library book club read.
Finished reading: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley 📚Fun, time-traveling novel with a bunch of twists. Provides a surprising amount of information about 18th-century Arctic explorers, too.
Finished reading: Solito by Javier Zamora 📚Somewhat harrowing story of a 9-year-old’s journey from Guatemala to the US in 1999. Well-written and worth reading.

I’m happy with the Midori planner I chose to replace Hobonichi Techo in my life. Undated pages mean I can expand and contract as needed. Excellent fountain pen paper (not as smooth as the Techo, but close).

Here are the books I finished reading in 2024. My goal was 50, read 71. Mostly good stuff! I’m lucky to have access to an excellent albeit small library.
