- I Who Have Never Known Men – Jacqueline Harpman (finished Nov 2025)
- This surprised me. I may do up a separate post on this one because I’m still thinking about it. Short read and kept me engaged (finished it in an afternoon)
- That’s A Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You – Elyse Myers (finished Nov 2025)
- Saw this at the library while dropping the kiddo off and picked it up on a whim – pretty fun read
- You and Me – Scott Godwin (finished Oct 2025)
- This really surprised me – local author. Definitely outside my usual comfort zone (character heavy retrospective?) but I was blown away. I was engaged. I laughed. I cried. It left me appreciating what I have. A solid punch in the emotional centers was the perfect accompaniment to the gloomy fall I read it during.
Abandoned
Sometimes I try books, but just can’t get into them or finish them. I’ve learned to accept that sometimes life throws wrenches in the way of my reading or that not every book is for me. Those go here.
- The Silmarillion- J.R.R. Tolkien
- As a big Tolkien fan, this one hurt to not be able to finish. I may revisit it in a bit and try to skip the first couple chapters – I struggle with things that aren’t plot heavy so I had a hard time waiting for this one to “get going.”
