Hard read for me as it is outside of my usual, preferred genres, but, very interesting nonetheless learning a lot.
Finished this…loved it and then devoured Jennifer’s book, “She’s Not There: A Life in Two Genders.” Wow.
i wouldn’t say i’m an avid reader but i do love reading and am slowly but surely working through my tbr! i’m currently reading Tower of Dawn (book 6 i think in the throne of glass series!) and i’m also rereading the perks of being a wallflower (book is so much better than the film, i highly recommend!!) and i plan on starting the love hypothesis soon!!
Loved that book! The movie is good too.
My current non fiction read:
A bit long winded in theoretical discussions but I enjoy reading about people who have embraced complete altruism. It is a good reminder to protect my heart as this addict tries to re-enter full society as a citizen who can be of service. The more I read about balance and boundaries the more I crave them.
Just finished ’ The Vanishing of Margaret Smalls’
Wonderful!!!
Finished ‘Fairytale’ by Stephen King. Had to slog thru it. I prefer his darker work. Fantasy isn’t my genre.
Next up Demon Copperfield by Barbara Kingsolver.
I wondered about The Last Chairlift!!! It is on my list. Yes, well, My Dark Vanessa…great writing…icky material. Not for everyone.
Have read just a tiny bit of Demon Copperfield…I think it will be time well spent reading this one!
And I haven’t read Zen Fish Zen Bones in ages…thanks for the reminder!
Adding in a TW on drug use, drinking, abuse and more.
Opps, Demon Copperhead, by Barbara Kingsolver. Hopefully the review comes thru okay. Idk why it is posting like that, apologies!

Favorite three fiction/non fiction reads of the year. Wishing each of you all the best in the new year!
Great choices there! Sagan, Chodron, hooks.
Im also listening to Stephen King The institution.
Started Fairytale but it just didnt grip me.
Same for me and Fairytale. I liked The Institute. I got Revival for Christmas, haven’t started yet.
The Sentence by Louise Erdrich. Like it, but not 5 stars.
I’ve read and loved three of those the other three have been added to my to be read. Thanks! Happy reading!
I’m currently reading Son by Lois Lowry. The last book in The Giver quartet. Pretty good little series.
