The Air Loom Gang by Mike Jay is a wild story about political intrigue, madness, and the beginnings of our modern understanding of mental illness. Solid nonfiction

Riddle of the Labyrinth by Margalit Fox is the fascinating story of how Linear B was deciphered. Worth a read!

I just finished Arkady Martine’s novella Rose/House. Not as good as her other books but I’m really appreciating the shorter length lately.

Although it’s only 98 pages, it took me a week to read Ray Nayler’s Tusks of Extinction because of how heartbreaking it is.

I found a Barbara Kingsolver novel called Lacuna on my walk around the neighborhood today. Great writer! Free little libraries are great for serendipity!

Getting impossible to ignore writing on the wall about the trajectory of my company and job. A shame, it’s the best job I’ve ever had.

I’m pretty sure I decided to read Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind because of how weird the title felt. Turns out, it’s a pretty accurate portrayal of working poverty and how soul crushing it is.

Have you ever completely forgotten you’ve read a book? I started reading The Nix. Seemed pretty familiar. I assumed I’d read the first chapter. Now, 300 pages in, I’m certain I’ve read this whole thing already. Maybe a sign I’ve read too many books? hahaha

Under the weather, can only seem to manage to (re)read Terry Pratchett. What books do you like to read when you’re feeling lousy?

Eeyore has finally found a home. That means it’ll probably disappear soon.

Great book of short stories! I cried at the sweetness of “Professor Gottesman and the Indian Rhinoceros”. I laughed out loud at [redacted] in “Spook”. Other stories also delightful

Pretty great! All the “chosen ones” who’ve rejected their callings are in a support group. There’s other great stuff too
